Question 1

What are oil and gas rights?

Accepted Answer

Oil and gas rights refer to the ownership of the minerals, including oil and natural gas, that are found beneath the surface of a property. These rights can be owned separately from the surface rights of the property.

Question 2

How did I become the owner of oil and gas rights?

Accepted Answer

If your great-great-grandparent or other ancestor owned property in West Virginia and that property included oil and gas rights, those rights may have been passed down to you as an heir. A landman, or someone who represents oil and gas companies, may have contacted you to inform you of your ownership and to request that you sign a lease agreement.

Question 3

What is a lease agreement, and should I sign it?

Accepted Answer

A lease agreement is a contract that allows an oil and gas company to extract and use the minerals (oil and gas) that you own. Before signing any lease agreement, it's important to carefully review the terms and understand your rights and obligations. The attorneys at Nuttall Legal, LLC can help you evaluate the lease and ensure you are getting fair compensation.

Question 4

What is fracking, and how does it affect me?

Accepted Answer

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a technique used by oil and gas companies to extract hard-to-reach resources from the ground. While fracking can be an effective method, it has raised concerns about environmental impact. As an owner of oil and gas rights, you may have questions or concerns about the use of fracking on your property, and the attorneys at Nuttall Legal, LLC can provide guidance.
