Energy Industry (Oil & Gas)/Post Question

Ask Frederick M. Scott CMM RPL a Question about Energy Industry (Oil & Gas)

Important:

Please read the following and "Instructions from the Expert" carefully before you post the question:

  • Please don't set your question to private unless it will personally identify you. The public questions will get high priority to be answered and can benefit more users. Don't put your personal information in the question.

  • After you submit your question, we'll send you an email as a receipt. You will be notified when the answer is ready. Please make sure your email server does not block or filter out emails from allexperts.com.

  • AllExperts is a 100% free site. Our experts spend lots of time to answer your questions. We ask only that you thank and rate the volunteer's answer upon your return.

Instructions from the Expert:

Please do not mark your question as "private" unless it really is. Other people cannot read my response to private questions and therefore cannot benefit from them. I get many nearly identical questions because people cannot see previous answers on the same topic that were marked "private." These nearly identical questions take up space and make it harder for people to 'get in" to ask me a question. If you're asking about a lease offer, and need specific information (i.e. "is this a fair bonus/lease/royalty etc.") then please include a complete legal description so I can locate the property.

Expertise

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.

Experience

I am a Certified Professional Mineral Manager (CMM) (certified by the National Association of Royalty Owners in Tulsa, OK) and have managed my own oil and gas properties in Oklahoma for over 10 years. I have dealt with many landmen, attorneys, and other oil and gas professionals in the course of doing so. I am also a member of several professional associations and have written articles of interest to royalty owners which have appeared in several industry publications. I have prepared deeds, title work, and done curative work for my own minerals; and have acquired a good deal of knowledge on the subject of oil and gas law and landwork in general in the process. I am the owner of Timbercreek Mineral Company, LLC; which was formed as a vehicle to better manage family minerals, and as a way to facilitate the buying and selling of oil and gas rights for other people.

Publications
National Association of Royalty Owners "Action Report" (ROAR); NADOA Magazine, Landman Magazine, and several royalty owner association group's newsletters.
