Student Course Outcomes

What You Will Achieve

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with all the essential knowledge and skills to land a job in the oil and gas industry.

Understanding Property Location & CAD

Being able to accurately identify and locate a property is critical in the oil and gas industry, as it determines ownership, leasing rights, and who is legally entitled to receive royalties. Without precise property identification through legal descriptions and title records, mistakes can lead to payment errors, disputes, and lost value.

  • Learn how to use each county's CAD office

  • Texas Railroad Commission and ODNR maps

  • Understanding Drilling Info on Enverus.

Leasing & Royalties

Understanding oil and gas leasing and royalties is essential because the terms you agree to directly determine how much income you receive and how long your minerals are controlled by an operator. Without a clear understanding of these agreements, mineral owners risk accepting unfavorable terms that can significantly reduce long-term value.

  • Learn how leasing and royalty works for the owner

  • How are units put together by an operator

  • NMA (net mineral acres) vs. NRA

Units & Production

Understanding oil and gas units along with production is critical because your royalty income is based on your share of a drilling unit, not just the land you own. Without this knowledge, mineral owners may misunderstand how wells generate revenue and how production directly impacts their payments over time.

  • Learn about unit declarations and amendments

  • What results decide to continue further exploration

Surface & Mineral Title

Surface and mineral title records are essential. They establish legal ownership and determine who has the right to lease, sell, and receive income from the property. Without a clear understanding of title history, mineral owners risk ownership disputes, payment delays, and potential loss of value.

  • Learn how to process county title records

  • Building title run-sheets and MORs
