Never Underestimate The San Antonio Oil And Gas Lawyer
San Antonio oil and gas lawyer can help you with all your property and mineral rights needs
. Many people have land leased to an oil or natural gas producing company.
That lease may not be in the best interest of the land owners as large companies have created lease agreements that favor them. There was a time when companies used boiler plate lease agreements when they wanted to arrange access to property that had oil or natural gas.
The lease agreements appeared straight forward to the land owners who wanted to know bottom line what they were going to paid for the lease. They were not concerned about the fine print in the contract.
Over the years the companies continued to change the wording to fit their needs realizing no one paid attention. And now more and more leases favor the interests of the drilling companies and less of the land owners.
If you have a lease with a drilling company and the lease has been changed over the years, or even if it has not been changed, you have to have it reviewed by an experienced oil and gas lawyer. You might not receiving your fair share of compensation.
These companies have their lawyers who draw up agreements to favor their employer, the company doing the drilling. This is why you need your own lawyer to examine the lease.
In some cases you can arrange for your lawyer to draw up the lease agreement rather then allowing the company's legal staff to create the agreement. It is a well known business principle that the side that draws up the contract is the side that will have the advantage in the overall agreement.
Of course the drilling company will not like this, they might even refuse to work with you. But there are many companies that will work with you, so if one does not go with the next in line.
If you currently have a lease and you discover it is written in favor of the company, there might be a way for you to get out of the lease. There might be conditions the company has not met and if so then it might be a way for you to terminate the lease and rewrite it in your favor.
