Lease Abstraction

An abstract is only as good as its coverage.

Infersoft reads every page of every lease in your position and extracts 200+ values per document, from royalty terms to Pugh clauses and depth severances. Every value links back to the exact clause it came from. Your team runs it on your documents, at your pace.

Sampling is the quiet risk in your lease data

A careful abstractor gets through a handful of leases a day. Every acquisition adds thousands more. So you triage: producing units first, near-term expirations next, and the rest of the position waits in the backlog. The backlog does not shrink. It compounds.

The values in your lease system reflect whoever abstracted them, whenever they did it, against whatever form was in front of them. Spreadsheet drift accumulates quietly. A depth severance or a continuous operations clause sitting in an un-abstracted lease is a hidden obligation, invisible right up until it changes a drilling schedule or a divestiture.

And when a partner, an auditor, or a buyer asks where a number came from, "we think it's accurate" is not a defensible answer. You need the clause.

Complete lease data extraction, down to the clause

  • 200+ configurable values per document: verbatim clause language, yes/no flags, numerical fields, dates, and bespoke fields your team defines for your own forms.
  • The provisions that change outcomes, extracted by name: Pugh clauses (horizontal and vertical), depth severances, continuous operations, held-by-production status, shut-in royalty, consent-to-assign, areas of mutual interest, and pooling.
  • Strikethrough detection reads the markup and flags language struck at negotiation, so your team catches it before it lands in the abstract as if it still governed.
  • Click-through to the source: every extracted value links to the exact page and clause, so verification is one click, not a trip to the file room.
  • Every page read, not sampled: amendments, ratifications, assignments, and exhibits included, across the entire position at once.
  • Title opinion digitization: opinions and legacy abstracts become structured, sortable workbooks instead of PDFs nobody reopens.
  • Your team runs it on your documents, at your pace: point it at a new acquisition the week the data room opens, with no document caps.

Every value in the abstract carries a link to the exact source page and clause, so any entry can be verified in one click and defended without pulling the file.

Infersoft does the reading so your lease analysts and landmen do the judging, reviewing flagged provisions and edge cases instead of turning every page themselves.
