Flipping the Traditional Land Management Process on its Head; Unveiling the Consequences of Outdated Methods

Traditional Land Management Challenges

Historically, the Oil and Gas industry has relied on complex and time-consuming processes to secure 3^rd party and road use agreements. Energy and infrastructure companies, forestry companies, and land consultants have faced numerous challenges, including paperwork inefficiencies, manual record-keeping, and a lack of transparency. These hurdles often lead to delays, increased costs, disputes, and an overall strain on the relationship between stakeholders.

Enter Tressl: The Land Management Disruptor

Tressl, a ground-breaking SaaS platform, has emerged with powerful force, reshaping land management agreement processes in the energy, forestry, and telecommunications industries. Founded by a team with over 70 years of Land management experience, Tressl has a mission to streamline and modernize the way agreements are handled, introducing efficiency, transparency, and sustainability to the process.

All-in-one Agreement Processing Technology: Cutting Turnaround Times by 88% 

Tressl utilizes cutting-edge technology to simplify and automate traditional land management workflows. Its user-friendly, web-based platform allows Applicants and Approvers to seamlessly navigate through their daily tasks so both parties can get the job done quicker. On average, companies have reduced their turn-around times by a staggering 88%. By centralizing the process, Tressl is empowering teams with visibility and governance over their operations.

Breaking Barriers: Debunking the Top 3 False Beliefs that may be Holding You Back from Making the Switch

1. “We’re too busy right now” – Tressl’s Client Success closely collaborates with each client, ensuring a seamless integration of every unique workflow with the platform. Customizing components as required further enhances this tailored approach. The product itself is user-friendly and quickly grasped, requiring minimal training. In fact, most new clients become fully efficient in using the platform within the first 2 weeks.
2. “Our Process doesn’t need an upgrade” – Land management agreements have been processed the same way (via email/fax) for as long as they’ve been required. This inefficiency has been widely overlooked by most businesses, until now. The energy industry is evolving faster than ever before, adopting innovative technology to keep up with current demands and workloads. Don’t let your Land department fall behind in such a fast-paced and evolving environment.
3. “I don’t think the problem is big enough right now” – Land Professionals often report being overworked, resulting in decreased morale, and discouraging new land professionals from entering the workforce. This is due to higher volumes of requests without a scalable system in place. What could your land department do with 88% more time? Ben Cull, Junior Surface Land Administrator at Ember Resources, noted that 3^rd parties/crossing applications used to take him 3-4 days, but now takes him just 3-4 hours using Tressl. Time is money, and with Tressl, you save both!

Automated Document Management

Tressl’s document management system offers a digitized and standardized approach to land agreements. It enables parties to create, review, and execute documents electronically, significantly reducing the time and effort required for paperwork and eliminating the pain of endless email threads. Moreover, the platform maintains a secure repository of all agreements, providing easy access for authorized stakeholders while ensuring data integrity.

Full Transparency and Collaboration

Tressl brings transparency to the forefront of agreement processing. Both parties involved can access real-time updates and communicate within the platform, eliminating ambiguity and enhancing collaboration. All stakeholders, such as Land Analysts, Technical Auditors, Field Personnel, and Signing Authorities can communicate and track progress within the app, ensuring everyone remains informed throughout the entire agreement lifecycle. Tressl offers insights into company activity with a live, easily read dashboard, highlighting metrics that are important to each company’s unique workflow.

Turning Costly Departments into Revenue Centers

Did you know that some companies do not charge for their road use due to it being “administratively impossible?” In addition to missing out on hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, of dollars, this poses a huge liability risk and opens the possibility of potential harm by not enforcing regulated agreements. Not only is this a liability risk to the Grantor, but also a safety risk to the Grantee. Without knowing crucial information such as weight-bearing capability, road conditions, and other potentially dangerous factors, the Applicant faces the hazard of injury or worse. In addition to this being an unsafe practice, there is also the risk of damage being done to the road/assets – without an agreement, the owner will be responsible for any repairs, no matter how costly.

Benefits and Future Prospects

Tressl’s impact on the traditional land management process in the oil and gas industry is undeniable. By leveraging innovative technology, the platform offers a secure end-to-end experience resulting in reduced costs, increased efficiency, improved accuracy, and enhanced stakeholder relationships. Tressl’s commitment to environmental stewardship aligns with the growing demand for sustainable practices, contributing to the industry’s positive transformation. Companies that have trusted Tressl’s innovative approach include Strathcona Resources, Ember Resources, and most recently, Whitecap Resources. With over 300 companies registered, Tressl is shaking up the traditional way of processing 3^rd Party and road-use agreements.

Looking ahead, Tressl’s potential extends beyond the oil and gas sector. The platform’s technology and principles can be adapted to several industries involving land management, such as renewable energy, infrastructure development, mining, construction, and telecommunications (to name a few). As the platform continues to evolve and gain traction, it has the potential to revolutionize agreement management practices across various sectors.
