These efforts were called the Title project. Because every state and province had different procedures, processes, and ways of communicating land ownership information, the MegaEnergy land department had trouble finding a common way to obtain and process information from the different government agencies. Compounding the problem, MegaEnergy managers had decided to couple the automation project with a project to remove the MegaEnergy land system data from the mainframes and reimplement it on less expensive servers.
To know where to send royalty checks, MegaEnergy had to know who owned each parcel of land. Its method of determining land ownership was archaic. About three months before the end of each year, MegaEnergy would print out a list of all the land that its pipelines traversed. These lists would be sent to various state and provincial government land registry departments. For a per-item fee, these departments would research and return to MegaEnergy the name and address of the current owner of each piece of land.
