Termination, Negotiation, and Disputes

Companies that produce oil and gas do not always own the land they drill on. Most often the drilling company (the lessee) leases the mineral rights from a land owner (the lessor). Common stipulations within an oil and gas lease include restrictions on areas where drilling may occur, limitations on the location of access roads, the amount of payment owed to a landowner, restrictions for noise violations, excessive construction and much more. These leases are governed by legally-binding rules that must be followed by both parties. When the terms of a lease agreement are violated, disputes may occur and one party may wish re-negotiate or terminate an existing lease. Some common oil and gas lease disputes are listed below

·      Use of the land

·      Storage of equipment and materials for construction

·      Drainage of water pumped from the drilling site

·      Royalty payment
