O&GAbstractor
For oil and gas land professionals
A filed-quality abstract, with a page cite on every field.
Upload the recorded instrument. O&G Abstractor reads it, classifies it, pulls every material field, flags what does not reconcile, and hands you a workbench where each value points back to the page it came from. Export to text, CSV, Excel, or a PDF abstract.
50 pages free. No card. No call. Credits never expire.

The hour you never get back
You already know where the time goes.
Reading through every instrument in a chain of title is slow, detailed work. Your expertise belongs in the review, not the transcription. Let the extraction happen automatically and put your knowledge where it counts, catching what the AI flags and confirming what it found.
At the window
Pull it, then pay for it
Every instrument in the chain comes off the clerk's terminal or the microfilm reader, a dollar a page, and a fifteen page lease is fifteen dollars of paper you still have to read.
At the desk
Read it, then type it
A pooling agreement with a forty tract schedule and a participation column is an hour of transcription before you have anything you can sort, filter, or hand to a client.
Three months later
Catch what does not add up
A tract sum that misses the stated unit acreage by thirteen acres is exactly the kind of thing that surfaces later, in somebody else's title opinion, with your name on the runsheet.
Who built it
Built by a landman, for land professionals.
O&G Abstractor comes from IAmTheMap LLC, founded by a landman. The field sets, the reconciliation checks and the page citations were written around one question: what does a reviewer need to trust a number quickly? The page it came from, the language behind it, and a flag when it does not add up.
01
Four instruments, four extraction passes
Leases, pooling agreements, amendments and ratifications each get their own field set and their own reconciliation checks.
02
Every field cites its page
Page chips on every value, and the source language one click away, so confirming a field is a glance rather than a re-read.
03
Anomalies surfaced, not buried
Acreage that does not sum, a second instrument hiding in the same file, party roles that do not line up. Flagged in their own panel.
04
Tested before it ships
The extraction engine is backed by a suite of more than 250 automated test cases across all four instrument types.
Upload to export
Five stages, one pass.
The document goes in as a PDF or page photos. What comes out is a reviewed abstract you can file, sort, or send.
Upload
Drop in one or several recorded PDFs or page photos, scanned or native.
Classify
It identifies the instrument type, with a confidence rating, before it reads a field. You can override it.
Extract
Every material field, with the page it was read from and the source language behind it.
Reconcile
Acreage sums, dates, and party roles get checked. Mismatches are flagged, not hidden.
Export
Copy as text, CSV, Excel, or a PDF abstract, citations included.
Upload and walk away.
Each document is abstracted in the background, so you don't need to keep the tab open. You get an email the moment an abstract is complete, with a link straight to it. Pages are charged when the abstract completes, never at upload, and pages that fail are refunded.
The real workbench
The instrument on the left. Every field on the right.
These are screens from the live app, not mockups. Page through the recorded document while you check each value against it.
A scanned State of Colorado lease, read with AI vision. The file held two instruments, so the abstract says exactly which pages it covers.

Four instrument types
It reads the documents that carry the chain.
Each type has its own extraction pass, its own field set, and its own reconciliation checks. These four extract today. Anything else is classified as Other and is not extracted.

The arithmetic
You already paid for the paper. Get an abstract out of it.
Texas sets the county clerk's fee for a noncertified copy at one dollar per page, and the reduced electronic rate does not reach real property records. So the fifteen page lease in your hand already cost fifteen dollars, and so far it is paper. The expensive part comes next: reading it and typing it into a runsheet. O&G Abstractor turns those same pages into a cited abstract for about a quarter a page, and your hour goes into review instead of transcription.
Tex. Loc. Gov't Code sec. 118.011(a)(4), sec. 118.0145. Fees vary by county for certified copies, e-filing, and records preservation. The one dollar noncertified page rate is statutory.

Next: put the lease on the map
Abstract it here. Map it in Deed Traverse Pro.
Every lease abstract carries the lands: the survey and abstract, the section, township and range, the acreage and the Exhibit A behind them. Deed Traverse Pro, our sister product, turns that same legal description into mapped tracts your GIS team can load the same day.

Plainly stated
What it is not.
A tool that oversells itself in the demo costs you time in the review. Here is the honest boundary.
Not a title opinion
It does not opine on title and it does not produce a certified abstract. An attorney's opinion is still an attorney's work product.
Not a replacement for the landman
It reads and it flags. You decide. Every field lands in the workbench with its page citation so you can confirm it against the instrument.
Not guaranteed correct
AI extraction is not perfectly deterministic. Two runs of the same document can differ on incidental fields. Review is part of the workflow, not an optional step after it.
Not every document type
Leases, pooling agreements, amendments, and ratifications extract. Deeds, assignments, releases, and everything else classify as Other and are not extracted.

Questions
Before you upload anything.
What if a field comes back wrong?
Every field is editable in the workbench, and every field shows the page it was read from, so confirming a value is a glance rather than a re-read. Low confidence values and failed reconciliations are flagged so your attention goes where it is needed.
Does it work on old records?
It reads scanned and photocopied PDFs, including handwritten-era filings, though a poor scan of a faded microfilm page is harder for the model in the same way it is harder for you. Recording stamps and marginal notations are read where they are legible.
What comes out at the end?
A text abstract, a CSV and an Excel workbook with one row per field including page citations and flags, and a PDF abstract laid out to read like a filed document. The CSV is the one to hand to a database, the PDF is the one to hand to a client.
Who can see my documents?
Your documents and abstracts are tied to your account. Pages are read by Anthropic's Claude models through its commercial API, and by default Anthropic does not train its models on inputs or outputs from its commercial products. You can archive or delete any document from My Abstracts. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
Do I have to wait while it runs?
No. Each document is abstracted in the background, so you can close the tab. You get an email when the abstract is complete, with a link straight to it. You can turn the email off in Settings.
Can I upload a whole stack at once?
Yes. Drop in several PDFs or page photos together, up to 100 pages and 50 MB per file. Before anything is charged you see the total pages against your balance.
Do credits expire? What if a document fails?
Credits never expire. Pages are charged when the abstract completes, not at upload, and pages that fail extraction are refunded.
What if one PDF holds more than one instrument?
It tells you. The abstract names the pages it covers and flags that other instruments in the file were not abstracted, so nothing is silently merged. Upload the other instrument on its own to abstract it.
How does it work with Deed Traverse Pro?
O&G Abstractor tells you what the lease says. Deed Traverse Pro shows you where it is. Upload the same lease there, tick the Exhibit A page, and every tract is located from PLSS, Texas abstract, GLO or OCS calls, or traversed from metes and bounds, then exported as a shapefile and KML.
Is there a checklist for what a lease abstract should capture?
Yes. Our guide, How to Abstract an Oil and Gas Lease, walks through every field O&G Abstractor reads, from parties and land description to term, royalty valuation, shut-in, pooling and Pugh clauses, with the misreadings that cause problems later.
Run one lease through it and judge it on the export.
Fifty pages, no card, no call, and credits that never expire. If the abstract does not hold up against the instrument, you have lost ten minutes.
