Jeremy White Named Director of Abstracting
Tenmile Land is pleased to announce that Jeremy White, of Bridgeport, WV, has joined the team as its
Director of Abstracting. In this role, Jeremy will oversee Tenmile’s title department, directing the efforts
of its abstractors, ordering certified title opinions, and approving title for its acquisitions. He will also
assist in strategic planning as well as helping implement new digital work processes.
White brings a wealth of industry knowledge with him from his previous positions, most recently holding
the position of Land Acquisitions Manager for WV and OH for one of the largest oil and gas operators in
the country. A lifelong West Virginian, Jeremy began his career in land 19 years ago as a field landman in
Southern WV, where he engaged in all aspects of land work to support shallow conventional drilling
operations. “It was this early part of my career – working with surveyors, staking new locations,
performing courthouse research, flagging pipeline rights-of-ways, dealing with individual landowners- as
well as large land holders and coal companies, that provided invaluable experience and industry
knowledge that laid the basis for my career path,” said White.
That career path eventually led White to relocate his family from Charleston to Bridgeport in 2012.
Based in Bridgeport ever since, White has managed large scale oil and gas leasing campaigns, cleared
wells for Marcellus and Utica drilling programs, and played key roles in integrating hundreds of millions
of dollars in asset acquisitions. While handling these responsibilities, he also managed all the land
functions for a small horizontal drilling program in the Wolf Camp formation in the Permian Basin of
Texas.
White is a Registered Professional Landman with the American Association of Professional Landmen
(AAPL), former President of the Michael Late Benedum Chapter of the AAPL, and currently serves on the
MLBC Foundation Board of Directors, a charitable foundation supporting several organizations in
Northern WV and Southwest PA. He also serves as the Regional AAPL Director, representing landmen
from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio on the national AAPL Board of Directors. He has been a
guest speaker for industry events, corporate annual meetings, college lectures, and educational
seminars.
In 2023, after giving it considerable thought, White felt it was time for a change and decided to leave the
corporate world for the position at Tenmile. White said “Leaving a company you have been with for
many years is not a decision you arrive at lightly. Over the years, I had developed a good working
relationship with Chad and Ben at Tenmile. I always enjoyed my interactions with them and respected
their honesty and integrity in business dealings. Chad and I began to talk off and on about the prospect
of me joining the Tenmile team. The more we spoke, the more it seemed like the perfect fit. Tenmile has
a great culture and is positioned for tremendous future growth. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part
of it.”
