O&G Lease Issues in Colorado
There are a number of issues that you may need to deal with if you already
possess an oil and gas lease, such as:
- Underpayment of royalties - Every oil and gas lease is different. Establishing
the right market value and ensuring that minerals are measured properly
is key if you are to receive the royalty payments you deserve.
- Duty to market - Once mineral production has been achieved, the gas/mining
company has a duty to bring that production to market, and pay you royalties
in accordance with your lease.
- Meeting deadlines - Many leases contain requirements to drill for minerals
within an agreed-upon timeframe. Any minerals produced after a missed
deadline may no longer be subject to the terms of the lease.
