I can answer questions about oil and gas leasing, and give suggestions on negotiating a good oil and gas lease and how to best deal with oil companies or their representatives. I can answer questions about buying and selling oil and gas royalty or mineral rights. I can help with questions concerning forced-pooling, correlative rights, deeds and conveyances, and "post-production" costs. I am most experienced with Oklahoma properties and laws, but am able to answer questions concerning other oil and gas producing states in many cases.
