Title opinions
Every successful operator knows that clarity create confidence and that confidence drives performance. A well-drafted title opinion does more than outline ownership — it sets the foundation for every legal, operational, and financial decision that follows. Oliva Gibbs’ title opinion attorneys review public records, ownership history, and recorded instruments to confirm who holds the rights to drill, produce, and get paid.
Whether you are drilling, acquiring, or divesting, your title opinion must do one thing above all: eliminate uncertainty before it becomes expensive. We produce title opinions with disciplined precision. Every opinion is built for a defined purpose, but grounded in the same fundamentals:
- Ownership — mineral and leasehold interests
- Access — Easements and surface use rights
- Encumbrances — liens and mortgages
Types of title opinions

Drilling begins with clarity. Our title opinion attorneys analyze leasehold validity, mineral severance, pooling status, and surface rights so you can drill with confidence.
Acquisition title opinions
