My name is Toby Fullbright and I am the founder, manager, and currently the sole employee of Metes + Bounds, LLC, Oil & Gas Land Consulting.  With years of experience in varied capacities across a broad spectrum of the Land business, the inspiration for my company came from recognition of a need that I found to exist during both boom and bust cycles:

Companies, individuals, and trusts sometimes need competent land work by an experienced professional, but, for many good reasons, are hesitant to hire a full-time employee and take on the commitment and overhead of salary, benefits, and office space.

Because of the volatile nature of the energy sector and commodity prices, there’s a reason companies have utilized a service model heavily reliant on oil and gas brokers; however, the scope of services offered by traditional land brokers does not include many of the core efforts typically handled by what has become known as an “in-house” landman.  Even the best “field” landmen may lack the experience and knowledge to handle complicated tasks outside of title, leasing, and curative matters.

Metes + Bounds, LLC, exists to fill the gap between land needs and capabilities.  

With a model based on hourly billing to fill on-demand tasks, you only pay for the work you need.  With the ability and equipment to work on-site, remotely, or in the field, you get the convenience that fits your situation.  By utilizing someone with a broad experience touching almost every aspect of work across the Land spectrum, you get the competence and flexibility you need to assign work to be done either independently or in collaboration with others.  You also get someone motivated by the pursuit of excellence, someone who will invest time and effort in your needs and ambitions, someone who operates with honesty and integrity, and someone who can deliver results.

If you need an experienced professional for a short or long-term project, for ongoing asset management on an as-needed basis, to consult about how to improve processes and efficiency, or just to fill whatever gap may exist between your needs and your current capacity to meet those needs, please contact me and we can discuss options to see if Metes + Bounds, LLC, can help you accomplish your goals.
