Coterra note exchange expires June 23 — combined 2026 guidance imminent; Devon registers 175K shares for Coterra preferred conversion (June 5 filing); $8B buyback authorizedDevon Energy SEC Form 8-K — preferred stock registration · June 5, 2026 | Devon SEC Form 8-K — exchange offer launch · June 3, 2026 | Devon-Coterra merger close · May 2026 | Devon proxy — $8B buyback authorization · 2026
Reason to reach out
Coterra note exchange window closes June 23 — financial integration executing now. Devon registered 175K preferred conversion shares June 5, layering capital structure complexity on top of the JOA re-execution and the May BLM acquisition (16,300 net acres, 400 locations requiring federal title opinions). Combined 2026 guidance drops mid-June. The federal title queue and integration curative load are the practical land legal questions of the moment.

Scott — Devon registered 175,000 shares for Coterra preferred conversion on June 5, the same day as the early tender deadline on the Coterra senior note exchange offers — the expiration is June 23. Combined 2026 guidance is expected this month. The land department is running JOA re-execution across the combined Delaware Basin position while the May BLM acquisition of 16,300 net acres in Lea and Eddy Counties sits in the title queue — 400 net locations where federal title opinions are required before BLM drilling permits issue. Federal examination is a separate workflow from standard Permian title. Worth a conversation if outside bandwidth on the federal title queue would be useful. — Ben Holliday, HELG · 210.469.3187

Devon/Coterra — preferred conversion registration June 5, note exchange expires June 23, combined guidance mid-June
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], Devon filed to register 175,000 shares for conversion of Coterra Energy Operating Co.'s 8 1/8% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock on June 5 — the same day as the early tender deadline on the private exchange offers for Coterra senior notes (expiration June 23). Combined 2026 operational guidance incorporating $1 billion in targeted synergies is expected this month. On the land legal side, the integration has the land department running JOA re-execution across the combined Delaware Basin position while the May 21 BLM acquisition of 16,300 net acres in Lea and Eddy Counties (400 net locations) adds a federal title examination workstream. Federal leases require federal title opinions before BLM drilling permits issue — the examination process is distinct from standard Permian title workflow and cannot be batched with private or state leasehold work on the same program. We handle federal title opinions and NMOCD regulatory work in Lea and Eddy Counties. Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law, licensed in Texas and New Mexico. If a call to scope the federal title queue or discuss integration curative would be useful this week, I am available. Ben Holliday Holliday Energy Law Group 210.469.3187

Devon Energy registered 175,000 shares for conversion of Coterra Energy's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on June 5 — the same day as the early tender deadline on the private exchange offers for Coterra senior notes, which expire June 23. Combined 2026 operational guidance, incorporating $1 billion in targeted synergies, is expected mid-June. The Devon-Coterra integration is in its most active execution phase: financial structure rationalization, JOA re-execution across the combined Delaware Basin position, and a May 21 BLM acquisition of 16,300 net undeveloped acres in Lea and Eddy Counties, NM — 400 locations each requiring a federal title opinion before BLM drilling permits issue. Federal leases are a different examination workflow from state or private Permian leasehold. This is not the normal backdrop for land legal workload on a Monday in June.

Reason to reach out
A $2.04B block sale by SGF FANG (June 4) and strong Q1 beat (EPS $4.23 vs. $3.58) confirm the program is executing. Five completion crews working down DUC backlog to ~200 wells — that compression from drilled to completed is where title curative on previously drilled tracts becomes the constraint. 2-3 rigs added alongside the DUC push. Natural week to check in. (Source: SGF FANG Holdings block sale June 4; Diamondback Q1 2026 earnings May 4)

Travis — SGF FANG Holdings sold a $2.04 billion block of Diamondback shares on June 4 at $204.25. Q1 2026 showed EPS of $4.23 against an estimate of $3.58, with KeyCorp raising Q4 estimates on June 3. The program is running: five completion crews working the DUC backlog toward approximately 200 wells by year-end, two to three rigs added. At that pace across Midland and Delaware Basin positions, the title workflow on DUC locations — wells drilled months ago that now need title confirmed before completion and revenue recognition — tends to become a bottleneck.

Diamondback — $2.04B block sale June 4, Q1 EPS beat, DUC acceleration ongoing across Midland + Delaware
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], SGF FANG Holdings sold 10 million Diamondback shares on June 4 at $204.25 — a $2.04 billion block. The Q1 2026 results from May 4 were strong: EPS of $4.23 against a $3.58 estimate, revenue of $4.24 billion versus $3.74 billion expected. KeyCorp raised Q4 2026 estimates on June 3. The program itself continues to accelerate: 2026 capex raised to $3.9 billion, two to three rigs added, and five completion crews running to work the DUC backlog from its current level to approximately 200 wells by year-end, with production targeted above 520,000 BOPD. Accelerating through a DUC inventory means wells drilled months ago need title confirmed before completion and revenue can be recognized. Across both Midland and Delaware Basin positions at this pace, that title and curative workflow on DUC locations tends to compress faster than the operational schedule. We handle title opinions and curative across the Permian Basin, licensed in Texas and New Mexico, Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law. If it would be useful to discuss the legal support structure given the current program pace, I am available this week. Ben Holliday Holliday Energy Law Group 210.469.3187

SGF FANG Holdings sold 10 million Diamondback Energy shares on June 4 — a $2.04 billion block trade at $204.25. Diamondback's Q1 2026 results, reported May 4, showed EPS of $4.23 against an estimate of $3.58 on $4.24 billion in revenue. KeyCorp raised Q4 2026 estimates on June 3. The program behind the results: 2026 capex raised to $3.9 billion, two to three rigs added, five completion crews running to work a DUC backlog down to approximately 200 wells by year-end, targeting 520,000+ barrels per day. When a program is accelerating through drilled but uncompleted wells at that pace, the title on each DUC location needs to be confirmed before completion proceeds. That workflow tends to compress faster than the operational schedule accounts for.

Reason to reach out
COP is selling ~$2B in Delaware Basin assets (Concho/Shell vintage) — the buyer, whoever it is, needs title examination on the transferred properties. COP is also stepping up H2 Delaware drilling to protect frac crew continuity into 2027. The sale exploration and the H2 ramp are concurrent signals.

Nick — ConocoPhillips is working with advisers to explore a sale of approximately $2 billion in Delaware Basin assets, originally from the Concho and Shell acquisitions, per February 2026 reporting. Whoever acquires that package needs title examination and curative on the transferred properties — Concho-vintage Delaware Basin title in particular tends to have its own curative history. At the same time, COP is stepping up Delaware Basin drilling in H2 2026 to maintain production and protect frac crew continuity. Two separate but concurrent land legal workloads for the same geography. HELG handles title opinions and curative in the Delaware Basin, licensed in Texas and New Mexico.

ConocoPhillips — $2B Delaware Basin asset sale in process; H2 2026 Delaware drilling step-up planned
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], ConocoPhillips is working with advisers to explore a sale of approximately $2 billion in Delaware Basin assets, originally acquired from Concho Resources and Shell, toward a broader $5 billion disposition target by year-end 2026. The process was reported in February and remains ongoing. The buyer of that package — whether strategic or private equity — will need title examination on the transferred properties. Concho-vintage Delaware Basin title typically carries its own curative history, and title opinions are required before any meaningful development program can run on newly acquired acreage. On the operating side, COP is planning to step up Delaware Basin activity in H2 2026 to maintain production and protect frac crew continuity heading into 2027 — covering operated and non-operated wells as partners ballot additional locations. Q1 2026: 698 MBOED from the Delaware Basin, 200 MBOED Midland, 367 MBOED Eagle Ford. COP doubled the share of 3-mile-plus laterals drilled versus the prior year. We handle Delaware Basin title opinions and curative in Texas and New Mexico. Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law. If a conversation on either the transaction or the H2 program would be useful, I am available this week. Ben Holliday Holliday Energy Law Group 210.469.3187

ConocoPhillips is exploring a sale of approximately $2 billion in Delaware Basin Permian assets acquired from Concho Resources and Shell — reported in February 2026, still in process. The company is working toward a $5 billion asset disposition target by year-end; $3.2 billion closed in 2025. At the same time, COP is planning to step up Delaware Basin drilling in H2 2026 to fill potential frac crew gaps heading into 2027, covering both operated and non-operated wells as partners begin to ballot additional locations. These are two concurrent signals in the same basin: a pending asset sale where the buyer needs title work on the acquired properties, and an H2 operational acceleration where the seller continues to develop what remains. Q1 2026: 698 MBOED from the Delaware Basin alone.

Reason to reach out
Q1 2026 10-Q confirms $204.9M in bolt-on acquisitions — the ground game is running at the same pace. Each new acquisition generates a title examination requirement before drilling. Strong cash flow means Q2 bolt-on pace is unlikely to slow. The title and JOA workload on continuously acquired Delaware Basin acreage is the standing legal need.

Cash flow was strong despite hedge losses, which means Q2 acquisition activity is unlikely to slow. At that volume of small-deal activity, the title examination and curative queue on newly acquired Delaware Basin acreage is a continuous workload — each parcel needs a title opinion before a drilling permit can be filed.

Q1 reported profit was reduced by hedge losses, but operating cash flow remained strong — the acquisition pace is unlikely to slow in Q2. Each bolt-on acquisition generates a title examination requirement on the acquired acreage before a drilling permit can be filed, plus curative on what the examination surfaces.

Permian Resources' Q1 2026 Form 10-Q confirms approximately $204.9 million in bolt-on and grassroots acquisitions of Delaware Basin oil and gas properties during the quarter — consistent with its prior pace. Q1 operating cash flow was strong despite reported profit being reduced by hedge losses. The ground game is running. Each bolt-on acquisition generates a title examination requirement on the acquired acreage before a drilling permit can be filed, and curative on what the examination surfaces. At 40-plus transactions per quarter in Reeves, Culberson, Lea, and Eddy Counties, the title workload is not episodic — it is continuous. The question is whether the legal workflow is structured to keep pace with the acquisition activity.

Utica now top-tier priority — 16 wells across 6 pads drilled 2026 in OH; 585 net wells planned 2026 (300 Delaware, 115 Eagle Ford, 85 Utica); advanced completion techniques deployedOil Gas Leads — EOG Utica top-tier priority 2026 | EOG Resources Form 10-Q Q1 2026 · SEC | EOG Resources 2026 capital plan announcement Feb 24, 2026 | Energies Media — EOG completion techniques 2026
Reason to reach out
EOG elevated Utica to top-tier priority and is running 16 wells across 6 Ohio pads — a new operating area where the legal infrastructure (title, JOA, regulatory) is still being built. 585 net wells in 2026 across three basins means the Delaware (300 wells) and Eagle Ford (115 wells) programs are also at scale simultaneously. Multi-basin programs at this pace are where outside legal bandwidth matters. (Source: Oil Gas Leads EOG Utica report; EOG Q1 2026 10-Q)

Billy — EOG elevated the Utica to top-tier priority status and is running 16 wells across six Ohio pads in Harrison and Guernsey Counties in 2026 — a meaningful step up from development stage. The 2026 program totals 585 net wells: approximately 300 in the Delaware Basin, 115 in the Eagle Ford, and 85 in Utica. At that pace across three basins simultaneously, the title and curative workload in each market builds in parallel. HELG handles title opinions and regulatory work in Texas and New Mexico. If additional legal bandwidth in the Delaware or Eagle Ford would be useful while the Utica program builds its own infrastructure, worth a short conversation. — Ben Holliday, HELG · 210.469.3187

EOG Resources — Utica elevated to top-tier priority; 585 net wells 2026 across Delaware, Eagle Ford, Utica
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], EOG has elevated the Utica shale in Ohio to top-tier priority status, with 16 wells drilled across six pads in Harrison and Guernsey Counties in 2026 on three primary rigs. The full 2026 program targets 585 net wells: approximately 300 in the Delaware Basin, 115 in the Eagle Ford, and 85 in Utica. Total capex guidance is $6.3-6.7 billion.

Running programs at that pace across the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, and a Utica build-out simultaneously means the title, JOA, and regulatory workloads in each basin build in parallel — and a new operating area in Ohio requires building legal infrastructure (title examination framework, JOA standards, regulatory familiarity) that an established basin already has.

Subject: EOG Resources — Utica elevated to top-tier priority; 585 net wells 2026 across Delaware, Eagle Ford, Utica Hi [First Name], EOG has elevated the Utica shale in Ohio to top-tier priority status, with 16 wells drilled across six pads in Harrison and Guernsey Counties in 2026 on three primary rigs.

EOG Resources has elevated the Utica shale in Ohio to top-tier priority status — 16 wells drilled across six defined pads in Harrison and Guernsey Counties in 2026, running on three primary rigs. The 2026 program: 585 net wells total, approximately 300 in the Delaware Basin, 115 in the Eagle Ford, and 85 in the Utica. Capex guidance is $6.3-6.7 billion. Utica drilling efficiency improved 22% versus 2025 average; Eagle Ford up 12%. Full-year oil production projected to grow 5%. When a company is running active programs across the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, and a new Utica build-out simultaneously, the title and curative workloads in each basin do not wait for each other. Q1 EPS of $3.41 beat estimates of $3.21.

BMO characterizes 2026 as 'transition year' — declining Vital legacy production, slower balance sheet recovery; Q2 earnings approaching; $1.3B Eagle Ford program rampingBMO Capital Markets — Crescent Energy transition year characterization · 2026 | Investing.com — Crescent Energy Q2 2026 earnings preview | Investing News Network — Vital acquisition close · December 15, 2025 | Crescent Energy Q1 2026 earnings
Reason to reach out
Q2 earnings approaching — first full-quarter post-Vital read. BMO's 'transition year' framing means internal focus is on delivering the integration case. Title and JOA rationalization on newly absorbed Permian acreage is the quiet ongoing workload that land teams work through in transition years regardless of rig count. Eagle Ford $1.3B program ramping generates its own title demand. (Source: BMO Capital Markets; Crescent Q1 2026 earnings; Vital acquisition close December 15, 2025)

David — BMO characterized Crescent's 2026 as a transition year, with the focus on delivering on the Vital integration while managing declining legacy Vital production under a lower-activity model. Q2 earnings are approaching — the first full-quarter read on how the integrated company is tracking. The $1.3 billion Eagle Ford program is ramping alongside that. In a transition year, JOA and title rationalization on the newly absorbed Permian acreage is the work that runs regardless of rig count — it is not tied to operational pace, it is tied to the land department's capacity to process what the acquisition added. We handle Eagle Ford and Permian title, licensed in Texas, Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law.

Crescent Energy Q2 earnings approaching — BMO 'transition year' framing, Vital title rationalization ongoing, Eagle Ford $1.3B ramping
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], BMO Capital Markets characterized Crescent's 2026 as a transition year — declining legacy Vital production as Crescent applies its lower-activity, free-cash-flow model to the acquired Permian position, with slower balance sheet de-leveraging as a result. Q2 2026 earnings are approaching, which will be the first full-quarter read on how the integrated company is tracking against that transition year case. The $1.3 billion Eagle Ford program for 2026-2027 continues to ramp — Q1 saw 29 Eagle Ford wells drilled. The Permian program is running two fewer rigs than Vital ran it, but the JOA and title rationalization on newly absorbed corporate acquisition acreage is not tied to rig count. It runs on the land department's capacity to process what the acquisition added to the combined acreage base. We handle Eagle Ford and Permian title opinions and curative, licensed in Texas, Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law. If a conversation on the legal support structure for the integrated position would be useful ahead of or following Q2 earnings, I am available this week.

BMO Capital Markets characterized Crescent Energy's 2026 as a 'transition year' — declining legacy Vital production as Crescent applies its operational model to the acquired Permian position, with slower balance sheet recovery. Q2 2026 earnings are approaching, which will be the first full-quarter view into how the integrated company tracks against that transition year thesis. The $1.3 billion Eagle Ford program continues to ramp. What does not pause during a transition year is the JOA and title rationalization work on newly absorbed corporate acquisition acreage — that work runs on the land department's capacity, not on the rig count. Crescent absorbed a meaningful Permian acreage base from Vital and is running it at a different activity level, but the legal work required to rationalize that acreage into Crescent's standard runs on its own timeline.

Reason to reach out
89 wells YTD 2026 — top private Delaware Basin driller. Delaware Basin production at record highs in the region per AOGR data. Private company with no IR, so drilling volume is the signal. At this pace in Lea/Eddy and Loving/Reeves, NMOCD regulatory work and title opinions are continuous. First-touch outreach anchored on program scale and specific geographic overlap is appropriate.

Mike — Mewbourne's Delaware Basin program is running at 89 wells drilled year-to-date per Patterson-UTI rig data — the top operator by well count in their book. About 75% of that activity is in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico, and Loving and Reeves Counties, Texas. Delaware Basin production in the region is tracking to record highs. At that pace, NMOCD regulatory work — compulsory pooling, allocation well filings, permit support — and title opinions on new permits are a continuous requirement.

Mewbourne Oil Company has drilled 89 wells year-to-date in 2026 — the top operator by well count in Patterson-UTI Energy's customer base. Delaware Basin production in the region is tracking to record highs, per American Oil and Gas Reporter data. Mewbourne concentrates approximately 75% of its drilling in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, and Loving and Reeves Counties, Texas, running a manufacturing-mode program with high-spec contractors on continuous contracts. Private companies at this scale are often absent from business development conversations because there is no IR function and no press release for every transaction. But at 89 wells per year in the Delaware Basin, the title opinion, NMOCD regulatory, and curative workload is substantial — compulsory pooling applications, allocation well filings, title on fresh permits, and curative on what drilling and acquisition activity surfaces.

Reason to reach out
2026 capex of $190-210M is now NM-focused following Dovetail sale. Silverback (47K NM acres, Yeso Trend) is in active development. 4 of 17 Q1 wells were in NM, a count that grows as the NM program accelerates. Yeso Trend and Northwest Shelf have distinct regulatory and title requirements from Delaware Basin work. HELG's New Mexico experience is directly applicable.

Bobby — Riley's 2026 capex guidance of $190-210 million is focused on New Mexico development and infrastructure following the Dovetail midstream sale — $123 million in proceeds redeploying upstream. Four of 17 Q1 wells were in New Mexico; that count grows as the Silverback acreage (47,000 net acres, Yeso Trend) moves into active development. Title opinions and NMOCD regulatory work in the Yeso Trend and Northwest Shelf have specific considerations distinct from the Delaware Basin — different formation history, different NMOCD filing requirements, different title examination approach.

Riley Permian — 2026 NM-focused capex $190-210M, Silverback Yeso Trend in active development, Q1 35.6 MBoe/d
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], Riley's 2026 capital guidance of $190-210 million is focused on New Mexico development and infrastructure — Dovetail Midstream sold to Targa for $123 million, with a $60 million volumetric earnout, and those proceeds are redeploying upstream. Q1 2026: 35.6 MBoe/d total production, 17 gross wells drilled (4 in New Mexico). Full-year 2026 guidance is 35-37 MBoe/d. The Silverback acquisition — 47,000 net acres in the Northwest Shelf Yeso Trend, New Mexico, closed July 2025 for $142 million — is in active development integration. As the NM program accelerates, the Yeso Trend and Northwest Shelf title and regulatory work grows with it. That work has specific NMOCD requirements and a title examination approach that differs from Delaware Basin leasehold to the south — different formation history, different regulatory filing categories, different curative patterns. HELG handles NMOCD regulatory filings, compulsory pooling, and title opinions in New Mexico. Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law, licensed in Texas and New Mexico.

Riley Exploration Permian's 2026 capex guidance of $190-210 million is focused on New Mexico development and infrastructure — a direct consequence of selling Dovetail Midstream to Targa Northern Delaware for $123 million, with a $60 million volumetric earnout. Q1 2026: 35.6 MBoe/d, 17 gross wells drilled, 4 in New Mexico. Full-year guidance: 35-37 MBoe/d. The Silverback acquisition — 47,000 net acres in the Northwest Shelf Yeso Trend, closed July 2025 for $142 million — is in active development integration. Yeso Trend and Northwest Shelf are distinct from the Delaware Basin programs that dominate most Permian Basin legal conversations. The regulatory environment, NMOCD filing requirements, and title examination workflow in that part of New Mexico differ materially from the Delaware plays to the south — and as the Silverback acreage moves into development, that workload builds with it.
