Maintain and enhance mineral land procedures, work instructions, data governance practices, and processes, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and standardization. Maintain the integrity of mineral land data and systems by investigating discrepancies, resolving ownership issues, and providing reports, maps, and analysis to support informed business decisions.
