Mineral Servitudes for Oil, Gas and Lignite
A servitude is a form of a lease that enables a party, usually an oil drilling company, to encumber the land in question for a period of 10 years. After this time period passes, full title returns to the property owner. If you own property and want to ensure that your title covers surface and minerals, reach out to our oil and gas law firm. We provide comprehensive title examination services.
During the course of the title examination, it is possible that we may uncover defects in your title. We will alert you to these defects immediately and provide you with the legal advice you need to cure the defects and obtain good title.
Experienced Advocacy on Behalf of Oil and Gas Companies
If you are an oil and gas company or a lignite mining corporation and would like to ensure you have proper rights to drill under your servitude or lease, we are also available to assist you. Attorney Thornell has spent more than 10 years as in-house counsel for several Gulf Coast oil and gas companies, providing legal advice regarding all transactions of an oil and gas property. This corporate counsel experience provides him with the necessary background to fully support your company.
