Oil & Gas Law
Texas is one of the largest gas and oil producing states in the U.S. If you are a Texas landowner, it is not uncommon to have an oil company representative approach you with a proposition for drilling on your land. There are many important factors to consider before signing a lease agreement that permits staking out your land, drilling and building an oil well. Additionally, Texas laws govern the spacing and density for oil and gas, the required distance from buildings, the royalty payment agreements for gas and oil produced, as well as how to deal with problems encountered after the drilling ends. You will also need to know your rights regarding how to prevent your property from turning into a wasteland when the oil and gas has been extracted.
