Strategic Land Acquisitions for E&P Companies
We find, negotiate, and secure the surface rights and mineral rights your operations need, including opportunities that never hit the open market.
A dedicated acquisition department working on your behalf
Cobo Consulting operates a dedicated Strategic Acquisition Department that works on behalf of E&P operators and large surface users. We identify off-market land and mineral opportunities, approach owners directly, negotiate terms, and manage the acquisition through closing — all built around the client's specific development plan, footprint, and timeline.
Two distinct acquisition disciplines
Surface Rights
Surface acreage for well pads, facilities, water infrastructure, pits, roads, laydown yards, and other operational needs.
Mineral Rights
Mineral interests positioned to support a client's drilling program, consolidate ownership, or strengthen their position in a target area.
