Tuition: $795

Audience: Landmen, attorneys, members of the land support team and exploration supervisors, contract negotiators and specialists, account billing and audit personnel, accountants, engineers, geologists, certain production personnel, division order and delay rental and lease administration personnel, and management working with oil and gas contracts.

This course provides a tremendous amount of information in only two days. It is perfect for anyone seeking to understand how oil and gas law drives the oil and gas industry and the activities of oil and gas participants including lenders, investors, lessors, working interest owners, government regulators, attorneys, landmen, and others. The course begins with a review of the nature of the landowner's interest in oil and gas, the nature and characteristics of mineral interests, the rights and duties between surface and mineral owners, how mineral severance works, surface damages, conveyance issues, the creation and duration of mineral leases, and different kinds of royalty and mineral interests. We consider life estates and other interests and compare them to the Fee Simple Absolute. The oil and gas industry uses a number of unique contractual arrangements to explore for, develop, produce, and market oil and gas. This course includes not only a good
overview of key clauses of the oil and gas lease, and the importance of implied covenants, but also examines the law governing farmout agreements, agreements for the sale and exchange of producing properties, operating agreements, drilling contracts, and pooling and unitization agreements. As part of the discussion of the rule of capture and doctrine of correlative rights and our work on pooling and unitization, we will review some of the history of the oil and gas industry that led to the powerful role of state oil and gas conservation agencies such as the Texas Railroad Commission.

This course covers the basic concepts of some of the most important contracts used in oil and gas operations. It is a perfect course for anyone, in any area of the oil and gas industry who wants to become more familiar with key ideas having to do with the law of oil and gas and all the terms so often used by industry participants. This includes, necessarily, the oil and gas lease. We examine key clauses of the lease and the meaning industry participants and the courts give to those most important clauses including the drilling and delay rental clause, the habendum clause, the granting clause, the royalty
clause, the shut-in royalty clause, the pooling clause, the drilling-delay rental clause, and others. Also reviewed are the areas relating to ownership as it relates to oil and gas operations. We will review the idea of severance of surface and mineral rights, the role of successive ownership and co-ownership of mineral rights, and the impact on the development of land for oil and gas purposes. Important ideas concerning estates in land, transfer of title to land and minerals, land descriptions, types of property ownership, use restrictions and assignments are also covered. We discuss the use of key contracts used in the industry including Joint Operating Agreements, Seismic Options, and Farmout Agreements and relate them to various means of developing acreage.
