Senior Division Order Analyst

Senior Division Order Analyst About the Company

Our client is a prominent, multi-generational, family-owned oil and gas operator headquartered in Midland, Texas. With a long-standing footprint across both the Delaware and Midland sub-basins of the Permian Basin, the company operates a substantial portfolio of producing assets alongside a deep inventory of undeveloped leasehold.

The organization is distinguished by its disciplined capital allocation, conservative balance sheet management, and a genuine commitment to long-term stewardship of its mineral and working interest positions. This is a company that thinks in decades, not quarters — built on relationships, integrity, and operational excellence.

With an active drilling program and ongoing acquisition and divestiture activity, the company requires precise, timely division order work to support accurate and compliant revenue distribution across a growing well count.

The Senior Division Order Analyst will own the full lifecycle of division order administration for the company's Permian Basin producing portfolio — from title opinion review and interest calculations through division order preparation, owner relations, and revenue distribution oversight. This is a critical role that sits at the intersection of land, legal, accounting, and operations, requiring both technical precision and strong interpersonal skills.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned division order professional who takes pride in the accuracy of their work, communicates confidently with royalty and working interest owners, and thrives in a lean, high-accountability environment. This role offers meaningful ownership, direct visibility to senior leadership, and the opportunity to help shape division order processes and controls within a well-capitalized, growth-oriented organization.
