Foundry Advisory

Foundry Advisory finds, qualifies, and documents oil and gas transactions for operators, investors, and mineral buyers. The firm works the full arc of a deal: identifying and approaching mineral owners, verifying who actually owns what, running acquisition diligence, and preparing the conveyance and recording documents that close it.

Most firms in this space do one slice. Foundry carries an opportunity from first contact through recorded conveyance, so the diligence is done by the people who sourced the deal, and the documents are drafted by the people who ran the title.

The firm is led by Gary D. Richardson II, a professional landman working in oil and gas since 2014, who runs his own non-operated portfolio across the Permian and other onshore basins and handles the title, assignment, and operator work on it personally. Engagements are principal-led, with scope, fees, and confidentiality agreed in writing before substantive work begins.
