Abstract: Selected
Recent Developments in Oil and Gas Law
for Geologists, Engineers, and Geophysicists
DAILY, THOMAS A.
Oil and gas law
is
constantly changing. Legislatures are currently in session in both Oklahoma
and in Arkansas. These Legislatures write new laws and rewrite old ones.
Court decisions interpret both these laws and common
law
legal principles.
All these changes impact our industry in ways which we all need to understand
and appreciate.
The paper will survey selected
recent developments in oil and gas law
of interest to geologists, engineers,
and geophysicists. Because many of these developments have yet to occur,
it is not yet possible for the author to predict the exact content of the
paper. The only certainties are that there will be changes which will affect
our industry and that this paper is designed to help you stay abreast of
these changes.
