I also agree. But how best to tag such areas then?

In terms of "mapping ownership", I don't think that bears on this
conversation any more than it does when tagging an area as industrial based
on satellite imagery. The area is reserved for some future use related to
the extraction of oil. But more to the point of my original question, how
best to indicate that any particular industrial area (landuse=industrial)
is *inside* the leased, and named, tract?
