About The Position

Our Lease Analysts (LAs) are responsible for maintaining accurate lease and ownership records and ensuring timely, accurate action on lease obligations across our oil and gas operations. LAs work closely with the Land Administration team, internal departments, and clients to ensure data accuracy, compliance, and timely completion of lease administration tasks. They support the team by maintaining lease and ownership data in either the clients’ or in PetroLedger’s Quorum OnDemand Land system, tracking lease obligations, and routing more complex title or ownership questions to the appropriate team member. This position plays a critical role in managing client-owned assets and maintaining accurate records within PetroLedger’s land systems.
