Disputes Involving Oil and Gas Royalties

In the United States’ economy, mineral rights—oil and natural gas, in particular—have increasingly become a critical asset for many property owners. When a resource like oil or natural gas is found beneath a property owner’s land, oil and gas companies may wish to extract those resources. To compensate land owners, these companies will offer royalties in exchange for the mineral rights to those resources. Unfortunately, the exact terms of those royalties often become subject to dispute and will need to be resolved with the help of experienced legal counsel. This process of negotiations can be exceedingly complex for anyone who is not well-versed in the laws governing royalties associated with mineral rights.
