Land, Title, and Property Issues
Who owns the land, whether the surface or the minerals, lies at the heart of many oil and gas disputes. WattBeckworth has extensive experience with these title issues and real property disputes. Many of these disputes arise during the process of leasing and drilling when oil and gas companies are analyzing title to the mineral estate, while others arise later when royalties are paid. Our experience in this area also includes a wide range of land and property issues such as pipeline easements, surface use issues, surface damages, and other similar real property issues.
