MAO Professional Land Services is multifaceted in its operations. MAO is large enough to offer “turn-key” solutions to the biggest producers and flexible enough to fill a niche on a client’s  internal team. We offer comprehensive services and operate in the Gulf Coast, Texas, Mid-Continent, Appalachia and Rocky Mountain regions. The Company has leased in excess of a million acres in those areas. Our services include…


Title & Abstracting

Our title team has experience in producing everything from mineral ownership reports to patent abstracts in every major US basin. Accuracy, efficiency and cost effectiveness is where we excel. With a history of producing thousands of abstracts, run sheets and title reports across the country, MAO has the experience and efficiency to meet our clients title needs.


Leasing & ACQUISITION

MAO began its history over 40 years ago with oil and gas leasing and acquisition. With over a million acres leased across the country, we know what it takes to close a deal and understand that time is money. We have a successful track record of both mineral leasing and purchase in every major basin. We believe that if it can be bought, we can close it and do so in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
