How to Find the Right Oil and Gas Consultant

Mineral rights are complex transactions

To be effective, a Texas oil and gas consultant must be well-grounded in property law and contract law.  It is also essential to have experience in working with a landman, one who negotiates with land owners for mineral rights.  Those with experience on both sides of the table—working with landmen and with rights owners—will be best able to serve you with inside knowledge.

At the Sloan, Bagley, Hatcher & Perry Law Firm, our Texas oil and gas consultants, Louisiana oil and gas consultants, and Oklahoma oil and gas consultants have the skills and credentials to represent you well in legal issues involving mineral rights.

Know the implications for your way of life

When a firm buys mineral rights it also buys the right to enter the property and remove the resource at some future date.  A good oil and gas legal consultant will make sure the land owner’s rights are protected, as the removal may cause:

A clear understanding of mining methods is essential to the land owner.  Open pit operations consume large areas for roads, mining, stripping, waste rock disposal, and stockpiling of low-grade materials and heap leach operations.  Even below-ground mines often use significant surface area for ore treatment and other mine operations.

Maximize value, minimize disruption

The fees paid to a good Texas oil and gas consultant, Louisiana oil and gas consultant, or Oklahoma oil and gas consultant can greatly increase the future yield for the rights holder.  The negotiated lease can also contain language that protects other interests of the rights owner, including the owner's property and way of life, buildings, roads, livestock, crops, and other assets.  It can also reserve portions of property not to be disturbed.

Companies seeking leases often accept significant revisions to their standard lease or sales contract, but those revisions can only be made if they are knowledgeably proposed.  Secure representation by a skilled mineral rights attorney before signing a lease.
