Position Summary

Paramount Field Services is seeking an experienced contract Field Title Landman to support an active oil and gas title project based in Huntington, West Virginia.

  • Trace severed mineral and royalty interests, including reservations, exceptions, undivided interest conveyances, and oil and gas lease assignments.
  • Research West Virginia land books, assessor records, and tax status for mineral and surface tracts, and identify potential delinquent tax or redemption issues for review.
  • Review estate and heirship records (wills, appraisements, fiduciary filings, affidavits of heirship) and document open or incomplete estates for curative follow-up.
  • Identify liens, trust deeds, releases, judgments, lis pendens, and other encumbrances affecting the subject lands.
  • Pull, scan, and index all supporting instruments with accurate book, page, and instrument references, following project naming and filing conventions.
  • Enter research results into the project's designated title platform or tracker daily.
  • Flag title defects, chain gaps, ambiguous legal descriptions, and potential curative items to the Project Manager. Legal conclusions and title opinions are reserved for the client's attorney.
  • Submit daily production reports, time sheets, and expense reports as required.
  • Maintain strict confidentiality of all client, landowner, and project information.

Area of Operation

Primary work will be performed at the Cabell County Courthouse in Huntington. Depending on project needs, assignments may also include courthouses in Wayne, Lincoln, Putnam, Mason, Logan, Boone, and Kanawha Counties, WV. Occasional work in Lawrence County, OH, or Boyd County, KY, may be required for ownership chains that cross state lines.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of 3 years of oil and gas courthouse title research experience, with at least 1 year in the Appalachian Basin (WV, PA, OH, or KY).
  • Demonstrated ability to run full mineral title and prepare accurate runsheets and ownership reports.
  • Working knowledge of West Virginia recording practices, metes and bounds descriptions, and severed surface and mineral estates.
  • Ability to calculate and track fractional mineral, royalty, and leasehold interests accurately.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and Adobe PDF tools, and ability to learn project-specific title software.
  • Valid driver's license, reliable vehicle, and current auto insurance.
  • Ability to pass a background check.

Preferred Qualifications

  • RL or RPL designation through the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL), or active progress toward one.
  • Membership in AAPL and a regional landmen's association.
  • Prior Marcellus or Utica shale title project experience.
