Oil and Gas Compensation Law
Attorneys admitted in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas
You may not know where to turn if you lease your mineral rights to a production company, sign a lease you may not understand, and find the company is not living up to its obligations.
The lucrative nature of oil and gas production means production companies and developers often increase profits by taking advantage of royalty holders. We have seen too many companies underpay interest holders and exaggerate costs that you do not have to pay.
Unscrupulous companies take advantage of how complicated oil and gas production is, and we want you to know it may be unlawful.
Contact the oil and gas compensation lawyers at Sloan, Bagley, Hatcher & Perry Law Firm if you suspect underpayment or have a dispute with a production company.
Are you entitled to recovery from an oil or gas company?
The production company has to pay you the appropriate royalties, on time, and many states require a detailed record of the well’s production with each payment. They also have to follow their obligations in your Division Order or lease.
Since oil and gas details can be confusing, inaccurate, or withheld, you may not know when you are receiving incomplete royalties. We know the warning signs:
- You leased your property to a developer and years pass without drilling or production
- The production company fails to include details of oil and gas production with your statement
- The production company refuses to respond to written requests for information
- A production company or developer left your property polluted or unusable
- A production company did not remove all its equipment
