Turn Prospects into Signed Leases with On Demand Land

By Anushka Kumar • Published September 30, 2025

Every lease starts as an opportunity, but managing land acquisition projects can be one of the most complex parts of upstream operations. Spreadsheets, email chains, and disconnected systems make it hard to track draft leases, manage broker involvement, and keep the right data secure from initial prospecting through to signature.

That’s where Quorum’s On Demand Land changes the game. Purpose-built for land teams managing diverse energy portfolios, On Demand Land brings structure, transparency, and security to land acquisition projects so operators and developers can move faster with confidence.

Why Land Acquisition Needs a Different Approach

Unlike day-to-day land management, acquisition projects require special workflows and attribution:

  • Draft agreements and leases that evolve through negotiation stages
  • Project-level tracking to see status across multiple tracts
  • Controlled access for brokers, landmen, and external stakeholders
  • Secure handling of sensitive lease data

Legacy systems don’t provide this flexibility, which forces land teams into workarounds that create risk and slow down deals.

How On Demand Land Supports Acquisition Projects

Draft Workflows: A Complete Lifecycle

On Demand Land now supports draft agreements, leases, and contacts, giving land teams full visibility before deals are finalized.

  • Draft Agreements let brokers and internal teams collaborate on deal terms before execution.
  • Draft Leases track negotiations with flexible data requirements, permissions, and approvals that roll into active, executed leases once finalized.
  • Draft Contacts reconcile draft business associates with official contacts as agreements move toward execution.

By giving “Draft” the same status as Active or Inactive, On Demand Land keeps acquisition activities structured and auditable across the full lifecycle.

Project Tracking: Visibility and Attribution

Acquisition rarely happens in isolation. Projects often span multiple tracts, parcels, and payments. With On Demand Land:

  • Tracts and parcels roll up into a project for instant visibility into acreage and lease status
  • Payments such as options and extensions automatically tie to related tracts and leases
  • Legal descriptions are captured from trusted sources like CoreLogic and WhiteStar
  • Attribution connects tracts, parcels, leases, and payments under one umbrella so obligations are not missed

This project-centric view gives land teams a consolidated snapshot of acquisition progress and financial exposure, while laying a strong foundation for downstream reporting.

Collections and Permissions: Secure Collaboration

External brokers and contractors are central to land acquisition, but they should not have unrestricted access. On Demand Land introduces Collections to group records such as projects, tracts, leases, and custom forms, paired with fine-grained permissions.

  • Internal teams see full portfolios for decision-making
  • Brokers and landmen only see their assigned projects
  • Automated collections reduce admin work by grouping records by geography, project, or asset type

The result is collaboration without compromise, protecting sensitive data while enabling external contributors to stay productive.

What’s Next

Quorum continues to invest in land system innovation. Enhancements on the horizon include:

  • Expanded automated collections for projects and units
  • Strengthened audit history for even more accountability
  • AI Document data extraction to streamline Lease data entry and validations

By structuring acquisition data from the start, operators accelerate deal cycles, reduce compliance risk, and ensure accurate reporting downstream.
