Deep Subsurface / Project Origination

Hot rock land.
Defined site control.

We research who owns and controls the land for hot rock and engineered geothermal projects, and we assemble the surface and subsurface agreements a developer asks for.

We assemble surface leases, subsurface access easements, and title runsheets for developers and rights holders. Hot rock and engineered systems are the rarer case in geothermal, and the only case this site covers. Geopressured geothermal, the more common case, has its own site: thermal.land.

Audience routing and project roles.

For Project Developers

We research and assemble site control across private, state or federal acreage: surface leases, subsurface access easements, and agreements with oil and gas operators already on the tract.

For Landowners & Rights Holders

Read what Texas Natural Resources Code Section 141.004 says about geothermal ownership, and the questions to ask about surface use, water and lease terms before you sign.

What a geothermal land package covers.

Surface Pad & Operations

Option agreements, pad leases, water supply agreements, and surface use agreements covering access roads and pipeline routes.

Subsurface Access

Easements covering the area below the surface that the wells reach.

Severance & Title Chain

Patent-to-present runsheets listing the recorded instruments on the tract, and a read of each conveyance for what it says about minerals and any geothermal interest.

Public Wellbore Records

Public well records for existing oil and gas wells on or near the tract, compiled from the state oil and gas regulator.

Interconnect Corridors

Utility right-of-way easements for the electric line that connects the site to the grid.

From first mapping of the area to a packet of recorded instruments.

Four-stage workflow: area screening, title research, site control, and records packet. — Concept workflow for geothermal land research.
