# Acquire asset (access)

*/Processes/Acquire_asset_(access)*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.5
**Rationale**: Without known child occupations seeded, the evaluation relies on the process name 'Acquire asset (access)' within the Oil and Gas Extraction industry. Securing land rights, leases, and permits is primarily administrative, legal, and financial desk work that orchestrates access for a heavily physical industry, placing it squarely in the hybrid band.

## Process Profile

**Outcome**: Legal rights, surface access agreements, and leases are fully executed to authorize exploration or extraction operations.
**Trigger**: An exploration mandate or strategic growth plan identifies a target land block, mineral right, or operational asset for acquisition.
**Key Steps**:
- Identify target acreage or mineral rights
- Conduct title searches and ownership research
- Assess asset value, reserves potential, and regulatory risks
- Negotiate lease, purchase, or concession terms with stakeholders
- Secure required environmental and regulatory permits
- Execute legal contracts and finalize access agreements
**Measured By**:
- [Time To Acquire Asset](/Metrics/Time_To_Acquire_Asset)
- [Cost Per Acre Acquired](/Metrics/Cost_Per_Acre_Acquired)
- [Acquisition Success Rate](/Metrics/Acquisition_Success_Rate)
- [Regulatory Approval Cycle Time](/Metrics/Regulatory_Approval_Cycle_Time)

## Boundary Of Firm

**Outsourced To**:
- [Brokerage Firm](/CompanyTypes/Brokerage_Firm)
- [Leasing Company](/CompanyTypes/Leasing_Company)
**Automatability**: assisted
**Routing Summary**:
- Negotiating and approving the access agreement is kept in-house across procurement and legal.
- Brokering and financing access can be bought from brokers and leasing companies while the access grant and agreement record are automated in a contract management system.
