Senior Experts. Real Accountability. GSS delivers direct access to experienced landmen. We are Permian-native, relationship-driven, and results-obsessed.
Built on Experience.
Moving Forward with Purpose.
Gray Surface Specialties & Consulting Ltd. was built by Ellis Gray and has served the energy industry since 2004. What began as a trusted surface and land services company has grown into a field-tested resource for operators needing right-of-way, surface land, permitting, regulatory, and project coordination support.
Today, Chris Byars and Jake Sanchez carry GSS into its next chapter with a focus on senior-level execution, responsive communication, and practical field experience, and bring a modern advance technology approach.
GSS continues to serve clients with the same foundation of integrity, relationships, and problem-solving that built the company. As the industry evolves, GSS is bringing a more modern and organized approach to complex land and surface solutions, improving project coordination, communication, reporting, data organization, and overall project visibility.
With GSS handling the details, clients can stay focused on the bigger picture while knowing the land, surface, ROW, permitting, and coordination work is being handled with precision from start to finish.
