A state works for this product when four things are public: a feed of new pooling activity, the names of owners nobody could reach, a money signal tying a name to dollars, and production to value the interest.
Two states publish all four. Fifteen more were assessed and are queued by data quality, not map size.
The state publishes new pooling and unitization activity as it happens.
Owners nobody could reach are named in the public record.
A fund ties an owner’s name to a dollar amount. The rare one — only a few states publish it at all.
Well volumes, so an interest is valued instead of guessed at.
The biggest by dollars. The comptroller holds unclaimed oil-and-gas royalty payments — named owners with the amount attached — that operators reported but never got to the owner.
Street addresses never appear on public surfaces — city and state only. The address work stays in your private book.
The flagship. The state escrows royalties for owners its operators can’t find — by name, with the dollars attached.
Street addresses never appear on public surfaces — city and state only. The address work stays in your private book.
The second state to publish a named, valued list — trusts held for owners the state itself couldn’t locate, plus a monthly board docket we read into cases.
The registry gives a county, not an address or tract. Resolving the person is the work; the product organizes it.
No state fund here — the signal is the board’s own record of mail coming back undeliverable, joined to live production.
Value in Utah is always a model from production and your inputs. There is no ledger to read it from.
Unit and well data is open and current. Owner identity isn’t — orders don’t carry rosters.
We deliberately stop at units. Louisiana is a directory of where to work, not a list of who to find.
Colorado’s oil-and-gas commission forcibly pools mineral interests into drilling units. Every order is a live unit to work — the lands, the operator, and the nonconsenting owners named, read straight from the state’s own approved-orders list.
The order names owners but not their percentages — those live in the operator’s application and county severed-mineral records. Value is modeled from production, never read from a fund.
We watch the monthly docket and read the orders. The state’s owner-naming affidavits sit behind a paid subscription we haven’t bought.
Until that layer is worth buying, North Dakota is an activity feed, not a lead source.
Everything in the product comes from official state systems — the escrow ledgers Oklahoma and Texas keep, the trust registries Montana publishes, hearing dockets, board orders, and production reports. No scraped people-search sites, no purchased consumer data.
Inside the product, every figure links to the exact record it came from, and the full source ledger — each feed, per state — lives behind the login where it belongs to customers.
