Field Investigation

Geotechnical Investigation

With over 30 years of combined field experience, HCS can provide quality geotechnical investigation, geological consulting, and reporting for a wide range of projects. These include soil investigations for new commercial and private builds, landslide identification, monitoring and remediation, sinkholes, new construction, and pool installations.

We currently serve clients such as development authorities, townships, HOAs, private developers, and individual landowners. HCS can also guide your company through grading and permitting processes with local and county governments.

The smart thing to do is to get a soil investigation prior to purchasing a property or before spending funds on planning for an owned property to help confirm whether the site can be built on.

Litigation Support

Expert Witness Services

Mr. Hickman has previously been qualified as an expert witness in oil and gas appraisal, leasing matters, and geotechnical issues. Please contact Hickman Consulting Services for a list of previous experience.

Property Sales

Sale of Oil and Gas Properties

At the request of our estate and legal clients, HCS has created a vetted market of buyers for the sale of oil and gas properties. These vetted buyers make offers for the property, and the buyer with the highest offer is selected to purchase the property.

This brings competition and benefits to the seller in what is often a market that favors buyers. In HCS’s process, the seller has no out-of-pocket expenses, and all fees paid to HCS are based on the sales price.

Please contact HCS for detailed information and an engagement if you or your clients could benefit from this service.

Royalty Support

Royalty Review

Are you receiving royalties from your oil and gas properties but unsure whether the production company is taking out the correct amounts for deductions? HCS can provide a complete review of your royalty statements for a fixed hourly cost.
