Entrance sponsored the 2012 PDI Royalty Conference in Dallas, Texas in October. With royalty compliance growing on the minds of land owners and oil companies, and lease provisions becoming ever more complicated, PDI’s royalty conference brings together stakeholders from all sides of the conversation. At Entrance, we assist companies by reducing the chance of litigation. We gather the most accurate and up to date information possible, and then create workflows that help maintain compliance.
We enjoyed getting the opportunity to talk to stakeholders in the energy industry, in addition to a number of in-depth sessions covering issues important to them.
