Frequently Asked Questions

Below are our most frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at anytime.

What makes MEDS so different from other programs?

MEDS is a totally unique program in that we are the only web based program that combines the mineral management functions with online mapping, which gives you an actual visual of the locations you have interest in. With our program, you can print, save, email or bookmark maps and work you have completed for presentations or even for your own purposes. No other program out there combines both the mapping and mineral management functions so that you have all of your information in one place. Additionally, with that, we go and pull all pertinent state information about your site of interest and make it accessible to the user. We are a one-stop shop for all of your mineral management needs.


Is there any software to download?

No, there is absolutely no software to download. This is a totally web based program, so you don't have to deal with the headache of downloading a program, or having to download annual updates. We take care of all of that for you. What is even better, is you can access this from anywhere in the world with your secure login and password.


Can anyone else see my private information?

No, absolutely not. Your secure login and password are individual to you. The only information that would be visible to others would be public information such as land ownership details. We have secured servers on site that we monitor and manage ourselves.


Do you have support services if I run into a problem?

Yes we do. Our trained staff of cartographers (mapping professionals) and our site manager is there Monday through Friday from 8-5 to assist you with any questions or problems you might be having. We want you to get the most benefit from our program, and want you to call with any questions or concerns you might have.


Can I save my work session and come back to it at a later time?

Yes you can save your work and return to it any time, as many times as you like. With our bookmark feature in the program you can return at any time to the work you were working on, and it will look just as it did when you saved it. You can save as many sessions as you like, and reuse them as needed. Additionally, you can save your work in a map format to your computer and make notations on it and highlight specific areas of interest.


How can I determine the size of a location to make sure it is accurate?

With our custom toolbar, we have a several measuring tools that can be used to determine the actual size of a location, including area and square footage, or you can simply measure the distance between two points if you like.


What types of information can I get about a particular site of interest through this program?

Through our program, you have access to all of the state and county information about a location all in one place. This includes the Oil and Gas information, the Meter information, Parcel (or land owner) information, Site photos, State information, and aerial photos.


When I use the aerial photo tool, is it going to close my session and cause me start over?

Absolutely not, our program was designed with ease of use for the customer in mind. We integrated the tools so that they open up within our program showing you aerial photos of your location of interest without causing you to lose your work or location of interest.


What is the Royalty Check Tracking Feature?

The Royalty Check Tracking Feature, or RC Audit, is an additional feature we added within our program that allows the user to manage and track their royalty checks. With our state of the art program, you can link your checks to the actual well location so that our program can generate financial reports for you. This program can be as detailed or simple as you like them. It all depends on how much information you choose to input.


What types of reports can be generated through your program?

Currently the following are the active reports available through our program. All of these reports break down important data for you and divide it; where applicable, by county and state. However, if there is a needed report, this is something that can easily be generated to suit our customers' needs.

- Expired Leases
- Income by Mineral Tract
- Acres per State/County

- Soon to Expire Leases
- Check Income by Date
- All Tracts Owned

- Lease Information
- Check Income by Purchaser
- Mineral without Lease

- Operator Contacts
- Yearly Lease Financial Report
- Held by Productin


What if we manage locations for more than one person?

In the event that you need your reports broken down for more than one person, we can set up your account with the pertinent names so that the details can be entered for each individual. That way, when you run your reports it will be broken down by the owner rather than just the location. Additionally, with this feature, you can change the name you are working on without logging out or having to start a new session.


How often is your data updated?

Our data is updated monthly, however it is important to note, that a lot of our state data we receive is often updated only bi-monthly, therefore that data would be reflected as received.


What assurance do I have that I will keep my information in the event that I no longer need your services?

In the unfortunate event that you should decided that you no longer need to use our services, we will export your data in an excel format and put your well information on a printed map for your future references. Thus assuring you that you will always have the information you enter accessible to you.


What if I don't need the mineral management side and just would like my locations of interest mapped, can you help me?

Absolutely we can! Our skilled cartographers can map in your locations and then place them on a map for you or in a booklet form if needed. We would then just charge a maintenance fee for updating your data yearly or as needed.
