If you or your land company has GIS data defining your tract geometries, you can import those shapefiles directly rather than drawing boundaries by hand. This is the fastest path for portfolios with existing GIS files.

Uploading Your Shapefile

Click Create a Tract and select Upload Shapefile. Upload your .zip file — it should contain the core shapefile components: .shp, .dbf, and .shx at minimum.

The platform reads the polygon geometries and converts them into tract candidates for review.

Reviewing the Import

After uploading, you will see each polygon from your shapefile mapped as a tract candidate. Review the boundaries to confirm they imported correctly and are positioned where you expect. If your shapefile included attribute data such as names or acreage, check that those carried over accurately.

From here, the guided flow continues through Fix Overlaps, Well Overwrites, and Run KPIs — the same steps as every other method.

Next Steps

See "Well Overwrites" and "Run KPIs and Read Your Results" to complete your tract setup. If you run into issues with your shapefile format, contact support at support@pecantreeog.com.
