Fundamentals of Titles, Deeds, Conveyances and Leases

The essence of the land department of oil and gas companies is the determination of ownership. As you know, ownership of the oil, gas and other minerals, determines who has the right to drill and, after production, who is entitled to payment.

This two-day nuts and bolts course will give you the basics in determining land titles and the ownership of the mineral interests; plus acquaint you with the fundamentals of the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties.

If you are involved in such matters as title work, lease purchasing, negotiation and preparation of contracts, farmout agreements, surface damage agreements, lease administration and the 1001 other issues that are involved in the drilling and management of wells . . . you will benefit from attending this course.
