Devon-Coterra merger CLOSED June 9 — combined 2026 guidance issued (1.38 MMBoe/d, 500 MBbl/d oil); note exchange 97.78% tendered, expires June 23; $1.25B debt retirement; integration co-led by Trey Lowe and Blake SirgoDevon Energy SEC Form 8-K — 2026 production outlook and capital plan following Coterra merger - June 2026 | Devon-Coterra merger close - June 9, 2026 | Devon early participation results, private exchange offers - June 5, 2026 (StockTitan) | Invezz - analyst coverage, DVN +6% - June 10, 2026
Reason to reach out
The Devon-Coterra merger closed June 9 — it was pending a week ago, and now the integration is live. Combined guidance is out (1.38 MMBoe/d, 500 MBbl/d oil), the note exchange closes June 23, and the land department is into JOA re-execution and title rationalization across the combined Delaware Basin position. The federal acreage in that position needs federal title opinions before BLM permits issue, and that examination runs on its own track. (Source: Devon Form 8-K, June 2026; merger close June 9, 2026)

Scott — the Devon-Coterra merger closed June 9, so the integration is now live rather than pending. Combined 2026 guidance came out at close: roughly 1.38 million Boe/d, 500,000 barrels of oil per day, with $1.25 billion of debt retirement planned this year. The note exchange drew 97.78% participation on certain series and expires June 23. On the land side, the team is into JOA re-execution and title rationalization across the combined Delaware Basin position, and the federal acreage there needs federal title opinions before BLM permits issue — a separate examination workflow from state or private leasehold. If outside bandwidth on the federal title queue would help while integration is at its peak, worth a short conversation. — Ben Holliday, HELG · 210.469.3187

Devon/Coterra — merger closed June 9, combined guidance out, federal title queue now live
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], The Devon-Coterra merger closed June 9 — pending a week ago, now done. Combined 2026 guidance issued at close puts production near 1.38 million Boe/d, including 500,000 barrels of oil per day, with $1.25 billion of debt retirement planned for the year and a target of $600 million in annual cost reductions by 2027. The private exchange offers for Coterra notes drew 97.78% participation on certain series and expire June 23. On the land legal side, the close moves the work from planning into execution. The land department is running JOA re-execution and title rationalization across the combined Delaware Basin position, and the federal acreage component requires federal title opinions before BLM drilling permits issue. Federal examination is a distinct workflow from standard Permian title — it cannot be batched with state or private leasehold 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 integration curative would be useful while the work is at its peak, I am available this week. Ben Holliday Holliday Energy Law Group 210.469.3187

Devon Energy closed its merger with Coterra on June 9. A week earlier the deal was still pending; now it is done, and the work shifts from planning to execution. Combined 2026 guidance: approximately 1.38 million Boe/d, 500,000 barrels of oil per day, $600 million in targeted annual cost reductions by 2027, and $1.25 billion of debt retirement this year. The private note exchange drew 97.78% participation on certain series and expires June 23. Here is what a close like this means on the land side. JOA re-execution across the combined Delaware Basin position. Title rationalization where two acreage bases overlap. And on the federal component, a federal title opinion is required before BLM issues a drilling permit — a different examination workflow from state or private leasehold, and one that does not batch with it. The financial integration gets the headlines. The title queue is where the calendar actually gets tested.

Reason to reach out
Diamondback priced a June senior notes offering — more balance-sheet activity after the April tender that retired ~$777M of long-dated notes. Underneath the financing, Q1 ran hot: 147 gross wells completed in the Midland Basin in a single quarter. That drilled-to-completed flow is exactly where title on completion-ready locations becomes the constraint. Natural week to check in.

Travis — Diamondback priced another senior notes offering in June, following the April tender that retired about $777 million of the 2051 and 2052 notes and the term-loan repayment that left gross debt near $12.7 billion. The operational pace behind the financing is the part that drives title work: Q1 saw 118 gross wells drilled and 147 gross wells completed in the Midland Basin, with the base dividend and production guidance both raised. Completing wells at that rate means a steady flow of locations needing title confirmed before completion and revenue recognition. Across Midland and Delaware positions, that workflow tends to become the bottleneck. Worth a short conversation if legal bandwidth on the program is a question. — Ben Holliday, HELG · 210.469.3187

Diamondback — June senior notes pricing, 147 gross wells completed in Q1, completion-ready title workflow
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], Diamondback priced a senior notes offering in June, per its latest 8-K — continuing an active run of balance-sheet work that included an April tender retiring about $777 million of the 2051 and 2052 notes, plus repayment of the remaining $550 million on the 2027 term loan, leaving gross debt near $12.7 billion. The operating pace underneath the financing is what drives the title work. Q1 2026 saw 118 gross wells drilled and 147 gross wells completed in the Midland Basin, with the base dividend and production guidance both raised. Completing wells at that rate means a continuous flow of locations moving from drilled to completed — and title on each has to be confirmed before completion proceeds and revenue is recognized. Across Midland and Delaware Basin positions at this pace, that completion-ready title and curative workflow 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 completion pace, I am available this week. Ben Holliday Holliday Energy Law Group 210.469.3187

Diamondback Energy priced a senior notes offering in June, the latest in an active stretch of balance-sheet work — it follows an April tender that retired roughly $777 million of 2051 and 2052 notes and a term-loan repayment that left gross debt near $12.7 billion. The financing gets attention. The operating number worth watching is the completion count. In Q1, Diamondback drilled 118 gross wells and completed 147 gross wells in the Midland Basin, and raised both its base dividend and production guidance. When a program completes wells at that rate, each location has to have title confirmed before completion proceeds and revenue is recognized. That title and curative workflow on completion-ready locations runs continuously, and across both Midland and Delaware positions it tends to compress faster than the drilling schedule plans for.

$2B Delaware sale still unconfirmed mid-June (no buyer named, deliberations early-stage); BLM May NM/TX federal lease sale and Eddy County lease reinstatement at 20% royalty reshape the federal title and leasing picture on COP's federal Delaware positionStocktwits / World Oil - ConocoPhillips $2B Permian sale still under review, no buyer named - mid-June 2026 | BLM - May 2026 New Mexico and Texas oil and gas lease sale | Environment+Energy Leader - BLM reinstates Eddy County NM Delaware lease at 20% royalty - 2026 | ConocoPhillips Form 10-Q Q1 2026 - SEC
Reason to reach out
COP's $2B Delaware sale is still unconfirmed mid-June — no buyer named. The fresher development is federal: BLM's May NM/TX lease sale and an Eddy County Delaware lease reinstated at 20% royalty. With 60%+ of Eddy County federally owned, COP's federal Delaware position carries a federal title workload that runs regardless of whether the package sells — and federal examination is its own workflow before BLM permits issue.

Nick — ConocoPhillips' exploration of a roughly $2 billion Delaware Basin sale is still unresolved as of mid-June, with no buyer named. The development worth flagging this period is on the federal side: the BLM held a New Mexico and Texas lease sale in May and reinstated an Eddy County Delaware lease at a 20% royalty rate. More than 60% of Eddy County is federally owned. For COP's federal Delaware position, that activity drives federal title examination — required before BLM drilling permits issue, and a separate workflow from state or private leasehold. Whether or not the package sells, COP keeps running the remaining position, and that federal title work runs with it.

Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], ConocoPhillips' exploration of a roughly $2 billion Delaware Basin sale remains unresolved as of mid-June — no buyer named, deliberations still early-stage, and the company may decide not to sell. It is part of the $5 billion disposition target for year-end 2026. The fresher development is on the federal side of the same geography. The BLM held a New Mexico and Texas oil and gas lease sale in May and reinstated a terminated Eddy County Delaware lease at a 20% royalty rate, above the Inflation Reduction Act floor for onshore federal leases. More than 60% of the acreage in Eddy County is federally owned, and roughly 30% in Lea. For an operator with COP's federal Delaware position, that leasing and reinstatement activity drives federal title examination — required before BLM drilling permits issue, and a workflow distinct from state or private leasehold. Whether or not the $2B package sells, COP continues running the remaining Delaware position, and the federal title work runs with it. Q1 2026: 698 MBOED from the Delaware Basin alone. We handle Delaware Basin and federal title opinions and curative in Texas and New Mexico. Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law.

ConocoPhillips' roughly $2 billion Delaware Basin sale is still unresolved as of mid-June — no buyer named, deliberations described as early-stage, and the company may keep the assets. Meanwhile, the federal leasing picture in the same geography moved. The BLM held a New Mexico and Texas lease sale in May and reinstated a terminated Eddy County Delaware lease at a 20% royalty rate, above the Inflation Reduction Act floor. More than 60% of Eddy County is federally owned. Here is the practical point for any operator with a large federal Delaware position. Federal leases require a federal title opinion before BLM issues a drilling permit, and that examination is a different workflow from state or private leasehold. Whether a package like COP's sells or not, the operator keeps developing what it holds, and the federal title work runs on its own track underneath the M&A headlines.

Reason to reach out
EOG is running the Ohio Utica as a foundational play post-Encino — 3 rigs, 3 frac crews, 85 net wells in 2026 — while standing up Ohio title and JOA infrastructure from a lower base. At the same time the Delaware (300 net wells) and Eagle Ford (115 net wells) programs run at full scale. Multi-basin programs at this pace are where outside title and curative bandwidth in the established basins matters. (Source: Marcellus Drilling News, March 2026; EOG 2026 capital plan, Feb 24, 2026)

Billy — EOG is running the Ohio Utica as a foundational play this year following the Encino acquisition, with three rigs, three frac crews, and 85 net Utica wells planned. Alongside that, the 2026 program targets roughly 300 net wells in the Delaware Basin and 115 in the Eagle Ford, on about $6.5 billion of capital and 13% production growth. The Utica build-out means EOG is standing up Ohio title and JOA infrastructure from a lower base while two mature programs run at full scale — and the title and curative workloads in each basin build in parallel, not in sequence.

Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], EOG is running the Ohio Utica as a foundational play in 2026 — three rigs, three frac crews, and 85 net wells planned — following the Encino acquisition that lifted it to 1.1 million net core Utica acres with roughly 2 billion Boe of net resource potential. The full 2026 program also targets approximately 300 net wells in the Delaware Basin and 115 in the Eagle Ford, on about $6.5 billion of capital and 13% total production growth. The practical legal point is concurrency. EOG is standing up Ohio operational infrastructure — title examination framework, JOA standards, regulatory familiarity — in a basin where it is still building, while running two mature programs at full scale. The title, JOA, and curative workloads in the Delaware and Eagle Ford do not pause while the Ohio build-out proceeds; they run in parallel.

EOG Resources is running its Ohio Utica as a foundational play in 2026 — three rigs, three frac crews, 85 net wells planned — the result of the Encino acquisition that took EOG to 1.1 million net core Utica acres. At the same time, the 2026 program targets roughly 300 net wells in the Delaware Basin and 115 in the Eagle Ford, on about $6.5 billion of capital and 13% production growth. Here is the part that shapes legal workload. A new operating area means building title examination framework, JOA standards, and regulatory familiarity that an established basin already has. EOG is doing that in Ohio while running two mature programs at full scale in the Delaware and Eagle Ford. When programs run across three basins simultaneously, the title and curative workload in each does not wait for the others. It all comes due at once.

Reason to reach out
Q2 earnings approaching — the first full read since Rockecharlie cited 'significant progress' on the Vital Permian integration. Two Eagle Ford minerals deals (~$355M) closed in Q1 add title and division-order work on top of the JOA and title rationalization across the absorbed Vital acreage. None of that runs on rig count — it runs on the land department's capacity to process what the deals added. (Source: Crescent Q1 2026 8-K; Eagle Ford minerals acquisitions Feb 25, 2026)

David — Crescent's Q2 earnings are coming up, the first full read since the Q1 call where the team cited significant progress integrating the Vital Permian assets. Two Eagle Ford minerals acquisitions totaling about $355 million also closed in Q1. Here is the legal workload that runs through a stretch like this: JOA and title rationalization on the newly absorbed Vital acreage, plus the title and division-order work that minerals deals generate. Neither is tied to rig count — both run on the land department's capacity to process what the acquisitions added to the combined base. We handle Eagle Ford and Permian title and curative, licensed in Texas, Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law. If a conversation on the legal support structure ahead of or after Q2 would be useful, easy to reach. — Ben Holliday, HELG · 210.469.3187

Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], Crescent's Q2 2026 earnings are approaching — the first full-quarter read on the Vital integration since the Q1 call, where the team cited significant progress integrating the acquired Permian assets. Two Eagle Ford minerals acquisitions totaling approximately $355 million also closed in Q1. The legal workload that runs through a transition like this is steady regardless of activity level. On the operated side, JOA and title rationalization on the newly absorbed Vital acreage. On the minerals side, the title and division-order work that the $355 million in Eagle Ford acquisitions generates. Neither is tied to rig count — both run on the land department's capacity to process what the deals added to the combined base. 2026 guidance is 320-335 MBoe/d on a 6-7 rig program; the combined company produces nearly 400,000 Boe/d. We handle Eagle Ford and Permian title opinions, curative, and division-order work, 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 around Q2 earnings, I am available this week. Ben Holliday Holliday Energy Law Group 210.469.3187

Crescent Energy heads into Q2 earnings as the first full-quarter read on its Vital Energy integration — on the Q1 call, the company cited significant progress integrating the acquired Permian assets, and Q2 will show whether the pace held. Two Eagle Ford minerals acquisitions totaling roughly $355 million also closed in Q1. Here is what runs underneath the earnings narrative on the land side. JOA and title rationalization on the newly absorbed Vital acreage. Title and division-order work generated by the minerals deals. Neither of those workstreams is tied to rig count or activity level — they run on the land department's capacity to process what the transactions added to the combined acreage base. Crescent is running the Permian at a lower activity level than Vital did, but the legal work required to rationalize that acreage into Crescent's standard runs on its own timeline.

Annual meeting held off the April DEF 14A proxy; ~450,000 net acres in West Texas and SE New Mexico as second-largest Permian pure-play; bolt-on ground game continues as the standing title workload between named transactionsPermian Resources Corp Form DEF 14A - SEC, filed April 2026 (annual meeting) | Permian Resources Corp Form 10-Q Q1 2026 - SEC | Permian Resources company profile - ~450,000 net acres, second-largest Permian pure-play
Reason to reach out
No headline deal this period for Permian Resources — and that is the point. As the second-largest Permian pure-play (~450K net acres) and one of the Delaware's most active bolt-on acquirers, the ground game runs continuously between named transactions. Each small acquisition generates a title examination before drilling. The standing title and JOA workload is the legal need that sits underneath the larger deals.

Will — no headline acquisition for Permian Resources this period, which is itself the point worth making. As the second-largest Permian pure-play at roughly 450,000 net acres and one of the Delaware's most active bolt-on acquirers, the ground game runs continuously between named deals. Each small package in Reeves, Culberson, Lea, and Eddy Counties generates a title examination before a drilling permit can be filed, plus curative on what it surfaces. That standing workload does not pause between quarters, and it sits underneath the larger transactions when they come. We handle Delaware Basin title opinions and curative in all four counties, licensed in Texas and New Mexico, Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law.

Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], Permian Resources held its 2026 annual meeting off the April proxy, with no change to the operating posture and no headline acquisition announced this period. For one of the Delaware Basin's most active bolt-on acquirers, that quiet stretch is the part worth flagging. As the second-largest Permian pure-play at roughly 450,000 net acres in West Texas and southeast New Mexico, Permian Resources runs a ground game that adds small acreage packages on a rolling basis in Reeves, Culberson, Lea, and Eddy Counties. Each package generates a title examination requirement before a drilling permit can be filed, plus curative on what the examination surfaces. That title and JOA workload runs continuously between named transactions — it does not pause between quarters, and it sits underneath the larger deals when they come.

Permian Resources held its annual meeting this spring and announced no headline acquisition this period. For one of the Delaware Basin's most active bolt-on acquirers, the quiet stretch between named deals is the part worth understanding. As the second-largest Permian pure-play at roughly 450,000 net acres, Permian Resources runs a ground game that adds small acreage packages on a rolling basis in Reeves, Culberson, Lea, and Eddy Counties. Each one generates a title examination requirement before a drilling permit can be filed, and curative on what the examination surfaces. That workload does not show up in a press release. It runs continuously underneath the larger transactions, and it does not pause between quarters. The question for any operator running a ground game at this scale is whether the legal workflow is built to keep pace with the acquisition activity rather than catch up to it.

Mewbourne runs roughly 75% of its program in Eddy/Lea NM and Loving/Reeves TX — and the New Mexico regulatory environment is the live story this period: a 2026 governor race centered on oil and gas, plus active BLM federal leasing (Eddy County lease reinstated at 20% royalty, 60%+ of the county federally owned). At that NM concentration, NMOCD regulatory and federal title work is continuous. First-touch on program scale and the NM environment is appropriate.

The 2026 governor race has put oil and gas policy front and center, in a state where the Delaware Basin funds more than 40% of the budget. On the federal side, more than 60% of Eddy County and roughly 30% of Lea County is federally owned; the BLM held a New Mexico and Texas lease sale in May and reinstated an Eddy County Delaware lease at a 20% royalty rate.

Mewbourne Oil is one of the most active drillers in the Delaware Basin — private, more than 2,500 wells, no investor relations function — which means the operating environment is the signal, not a press release. Right now, that environment is the story. The 2026 New Mexico governor race has put oil and gas policy at the center of the campaign, in a state where the Delaware Basin funds more than 40% of the budget. On the federal side, more than 60% of Eddy County is federally owned, the BLM held a New Mexico and Texas lease sale in May, and a terminated Eddy County Delaware lease was reinstated at a 20% royalty rate. For an operator running roughly 75% of its program in Eddy and Lea Counties, this is the backdrop against which the NMOCD regulatory work — compulsory pooling, allocation well applications — and the federal and state title work get done. None of it batches quarterly. It runs continuously, and the regulatory trajectory only raises the stakes on getting the filings right.

Riley Permian — Silverback Yeso Trend in active development; Northwest Shelf NM title and regulatory workload distinct from the Delaware
Email body (swap [First Name] when sending)
Hi [First Name], Riley's Silverback acreage in the Yeso trend of Eddy County, New Mexico — acquired in July 2025 for approximately $123 million — is moving into active development. The deal added more than 300 gross undeveloped locations and expanded inventory by nearly 50%, and Q1 2026 production grew to 35,600 Boe/d with oil and gas sales up 11% to $113.9 million (the reported net loss was driven by $127 million in derivative losses, not operations). The development point is geographic. Riley's acreage sits in the Yeso Trend and Northwest Shelf of New Mexico and Yoakum County, Texas — distinct from the Delaware Basin to the south. The Yeso Trend has its own NMOCD filing requirements, formation history, and title examination workflow. As the Silverback locations move into development, that New Mexico title and regulatory workload builds with them — and the broader New Mexico leasing environment this period, including the BLM's May lease sale and an Eddy County reinstatement at a 20% royalty rate, sits over the same acreage. HELG handles NMOCD regulatory filings, compulsory pooling, and title opinions across New Mexico, including the Northwest Shelf — not just the Delaware. Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law, licensed in Texas and New Mexico.

Riley Exploration Permian is developing the Silverback acreage it acquired in the Yeso trend of Eddy County, New Mexico — a roughly $123 million deal that expanded undeveloped inventory by nearly 50% and added more than 300 gross drilling locations adjacent to its existing position. Q1 2026 production grew to 35,600 Boe/d. Here is the geographic point that shapes the legal work. The Yeso Trend and Northwest Shelf are not the Delaware Basin. The NMOCD filing requirements, formation history, and title examination workflow in that part of New Mexico differ materially from the Delaware plays that dominate most Permian legal conversations. As the Silverback locations move into active development, the New Mexico title and regulatory workload builds with them — and the broader New Mexico leasing and regulatory environment this period, from the BLM's May lease sale to the 2026 governor race, sits over the same ground. New Mexico experience on the Northwest Shelf is a different thing from Delaware Basin experience.
