This role is heavily focused on building, analyzing, and maintaining accurate map data related to mineral ownership, lease boundaries, and drilling activity. The ideal candidate understands that GIS in oil & gas isn’t just “making maps”—it’s about connecting spatial data to real-world land decisions, ownership, and title.
Key Responsibilities
- Create, edit, and maintain detailed GIS maps for oil & gas projects, including lease boundaries, unit outlines, well locations, and ownership layers
- Analyze spatial data to support land, title, and due diligence efforts
- Integrate and reconcile data from multiple sources (courthouse records, survey data, shapefiles, land systems)
- Work closely with Landmen, Lease Analysts, and Division Order teams to ensure mapping aligns with ownership and title data
- Identify and resolve discrepancies between mapped data and legal descriptions
- Support acquisition and divestiture projects through GIS mapping and data validation

- Produce high-quality visual maps and reports for internal teams and clients
- Assist in building and improving GIS workflows and mapping standards
Qualifications
- 3+ years of GIS experience in the oil & gas industry
- Strong proficiency in ArcGIS (ArcMap and/or ArcGIS Pro)
- Experience working with shapefiles, geodatabases, and spatial data management
- Solid understanding of PLSS, metes and bounds, and legal land descriptions
- Experience mapping lease boundaries, units, wells, and ownership data
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage large datasets with accuracy
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and data handling
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience across key basins
- Background in land, title, or division order work
- Familiarity with GIS tools integrated with land systems (e.g., P2, Quorum, LandWorks)
- Experience with ArcGIS Online, QGIS, or spatial data automation tools (Python is a plus)
- Ability to read and interpret survey plats and title documents
What Sets You Apart
- You don’t just map—you understand what the map means
- You can spot a bad legal description or boundary mismatch before it becomes a problem
- You’re comfortable working with messy, incomplete data and making it make sense
- You can translate complex spatial data into something land and leadership teams can actually use
Why Join Us
- Work on high-impact oil & gas projects across multiple basins
- Be part of a team that values precision, speed, and collaboration
- Opportunity to grow your technical and industry expertise
- Flexible work environment with competitive compensation
