About the Role

Corporate Land is a leveraged, multi-functional organization responsible for establishing, maintaining, and protecting the legal ownership of real property assets for ConocoPhillips.

We also field owner inquiries regarding lease interpretations, ownership interest calculations, payments, and transfer of ownership. Additionally, we maintain lease acquisition cost and create visual representations through spatial data for both surface and mineral ownership to facilitate business decisions.
