4 Benefits of Outsourcing Your Land Work During an Oil Downturn

Given the current oil and gas market, it’s understandable that many companies are choosing to outsource their land work. There are several reasons why an organization may opt for this avenue. From a lack of on-site resources, limited bandwidth, and scalability concerns, land management companies like Cinco Energy can plug into your existing company structure and provide a multitude of benefits when you’re stretched thin or looking for a partner. Here are the top advantages of outsourcing your land work.

#1 Comprehensive Services and Experience that Matters 

At Cinco, we have over 30 years of experience in the industry. Experience matters when you need a partner that knows how to navigate the intricacies of land work and title matters. It also matters when you want to work with a team that has seen and done it all before. In addition, knowing how to execute, our collective experience means you will have a partner that can share knowledge and insights to inform your decisions.  

To create a better experience for our clients, we facilitate all types of land projects from end to end. Our competencies include due diligence, fieldwork, landowner relations, title research, GIS mapping, land administration, database management, and more. Applications of such competencies are wide-ranging and often entail operational or financial implications. For example, in recent months, our strategic expertise in curtailing production and shutting-in wells has been beneficial for clients. 

#2 Better Technology and Targeted Resources

In the oil and gas industry, companies are always looking for ways to streamline operations. Land management is no exception as it involves massive amounts of title data, lease and well records, ownership records, and contractual obligations. How do you handle the information pertaining to your asset so that you can make timely decisions and prevent loss of leasehold -- without breaking the bank? As you move forward in a lean market, working with a partner who can leverage a suite of efficient workflows, software solutions, and big data management protocols can help you plan and execute a land management program that works for you. 

#3 Improving Fiscal Efficiency and Operational Scalability 

Scaling your operations, downturn or not, is challenging. Market fluctuations and business changes create an imbalance between the resources you have versus the resources you need. We can help drive efficiency for companies regardless of size or tenure by scaling our support up or down. We are not just land professionals, but rather a dedicated team of high-performing consultants with varying expertise who want to see you succeed no matter what. With our collection of resources, and geographic coverage across the entire U.S., we can deliver the people, information, and results you need to create value and reduce risk in your future operations. 

#4 Flexibility and Continuity 

When you outsource your land work to Cinco, you’re able to staff up or down as needed without sacrificing your business’s continuity. In fact, outsourcing certain land functions with the right resources mean all your tasks will continue as scheduled, despite what may be happening in your office or in the industry itself. Current clients enjoy having this as-needed approach to skill sets that encourage business continuity and growth. Additionally, our relationships across the country, technology, and decades of experience make ramping up for a new project or maintaining a current one simple. 

Outsourcing to a land management company like Cinco means gaining access to services, relationships, and experts who have helped companies like yours. Rather than worrying about bandwidth or current condition, outsourcing allows you to maintain your operation while encouraging growth. We’ve spent three decades refining best practices to reduce time spent on data, research, and more so you can rest easy knowing you’ve made a solid choice.
