Natural Resources Law, also known as Oil, Gas and Mineral Law relates to ownership, conveyancing, development and financing of these substances. The practice of oil, gas and mineral law requires knowledge of land, its title and disposition, leases, contracts and other documents typically used in oil, gas, and mineral transactions, statutes and regulations affecting oil, gas and minerals, and state ownership of minerals. The board certified attorney in this area has specific knowledge about the ownership of oil, gas and minerals, trespass on those ownership rights, the use requirements and limitations of  state and public lands,  the practices of “pooling” and “farm-outs”, mining rights,  and the terms and requirements of other industry contracts.
