Root
The foundation. Source records, ownership history, and the connections behind each tract, interest, and agreement.
Oil & gas land data
Clarity from the ground up.
A strong foundation for a clearer way to work.
RootSlate is a workspace for oil-and-gas land data, bringing mineral ownership, surface records, right-of-way information, and mapping together. It connects the records behind the work with a clear place to understand and manage them.

An invented field account
The Root Slate
The stone that kept the first line.
The first root slate was said to have turned up beneath a fencepost after three days of rain. It was flat, dark, and crossed with pale lines that branched like roots. A surveyor with a ruined notebook picked it up and began copying his measurements onto the surface.
By evening, the slate was crowded with bearings, names, corrections, and an argument over a creek. He wiped it clean with his sleeve. The chalk disappeared. The pale roots remained.
Crews soon developed a habit: begin at the roots, follow the lines, and mark only what could be accounted for. Each morning brought a clean working surface. The foundation stayed.
Word spread that a root slate could untangle even the most disputed set of field notes. Nobody could explain how. Older hands insisted the stone did nothing at all. It simply reminded people to put things in order.
The original has never been recovered. Reports persist, especially in offices where three spreadsheets disagree and every file is called FINAL.
Start with a clean slate. Keep the roots.
