Colorado Oil and Gas Lawyer

Some purposes of a drilling and operating agreement are defining roles, delineating rights and responsibilities, providing for bill payment and determining lien rights if bills are not paid. Numerous parties can be involved in a single oil and gas project including:

  • Mineral rights owners: may be the federal government down to a single individual
  • Royalty interests parties: may provide an oil and gas lease to one or several companies
  • Working interest owner (or lessee): may be a single party or a partnership

If you require oil and gas transactions, retaining our firm may be the best plan to protect your interests. We are proficient in all oil and gas law matters and in addition to drilling and operating agreements, some services we provide include document review and consultation, surface use agreements, royalty disputes and litigation and oil and gas partnership agreements. We can also provide representation to any party involved in a drilling and operating dispute that arose from a poorly written agreement or from a flagrant breach of contract.

Our attorneys have decades of experience and have been recognized by peers in the Colorado Super Lawyer magazine and under the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating System.
