Tips on Writing a Demand Letter

There is no set “form” demand letter. A demand letter can be formal or informal, written by an attorney on behalf of a client or written by an individual on his own behalf, demand payment or demand some other action from a party. No matter the form, a demand letter’s purpose is the same – avoid litigation and expedite a resolution of whatever dispute exists between the parties.

This article contains guidelines and tips for drafting an effective demand letter – one that is more likely…

Disclosures During Oil and Gas Lease Negotiations - Texas and Louisiana

Disclosures During Oil and Gas Lease Negotiations - Texas and Louisiana



The oil and gas industry has always been subject to booms and busts. Barnett Shale and Haynesville Shale lessors are recovering from their first “bust.” Their roller coaster ride started with oil and gas lease terms of $200/acre and a 1/8th royalty, up to $27,200/acre and a 1/4th royalty, and then back down to $500-$5,000/acre and a 1/5th royalty. In some cases, it seemed like the “going rates” changed…

Limitations on the Mineral Estate's Use of the Surface (Texas Law)

Mineral Estate Surface Use Limitations



Any surface damages discussion must begin with the caveat that the mineral estate is dominant to the surface estate. This means that the mineral owner has the right to use as much of the surface as is reasonably necessary to develop the minerals but must do so with due regard for the rights of surface owners and without negligence. Texas law defers generally to the lessee’s view of reasonableness. To make matters worse for surface owners, the…

Hiring an Attorney - Some Thoughts

Hiring an Attorney – Some Thoughts



By: Eric C. Camp



Here are some things individuals and companies (collectively called “Clients”) should consider when hiring an attorney.



1) Conflicts of Interest



A preliminary issue is whether the professional responsibility rules regarding conflicts of interest prohibit the attorney from representing the prospective Client. These rules generally prevent attorneys from representing Clients in…

What Happens After You Sign Your Oil & Gas Lease?

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU SIGN YOUR OIL & GAS LEASE?



This article discusses what generally happens from oil and gas lease (“Lease”) signing to royalty check arrival. Every situation is different and these steps may happen in a different order than listed below but all occur before the mineral owner (“Owner”) gets a royalty check. This article is based on Texas law but should be similar to the process in other states.



1) Finding a Surface Site



A surface site…

Hi Eric,

I haven't seen you around for a good while. Just figured I would drop in and say "hi". Hope things are going well.

Hey, are you the same Eric Camp that got an A+ at SMU in Oil & Gas Law?

And recently got married to a fellow SMU grad?

If so, I remember you well. Send me an email my friend.

Yes, sir, we found it. Thank you for your help in writing that paper up for us and in helping get to the link.

Sorry to bother you with this but what happened to the link to your pipeline row article?

Thank you for your reply. Only Sansom has offerd $200 an acre. I spoke with Penn Virginia who were leasing across the road, on South Hwy. 80, but he said $5000 was their top offer and this was at the same time Chesapeake offered $12,000, in August. The land is 12 acres in the H. Blossom A-1 Survey, 4A. It is located on the North side of Hwy. 80 in Harrison County, 5 miles east of Marshall. I know the $7500 per person is not bad, but a far cry from $36,000. My husband is an heir and he is 72, his uncle is 84, and two aunts in their 80's. His uncle is in very poor health and I am sure he will not see royalty payments, especially since this is a 5 year lease. This renegotiation is about the send him over the edge, and I feel so sorry for him. Just don't know how to adivse him. We are also being told that we must accept a 45 day draft (again), no other options.

Eric,
I went to Marshall and found that the lease was recorded on 10/27/08. Checked at bank in Marshall for one of the heirs and draft has not been paid. Now have been offered $2500 from landman.

Eric Camp,
You replied to me that you are & O&G attorney out of Fort Worth. I spoke with landman today and he told me that Chesapeake was not going to pay the draft that is due Dec. 9th. We had a very quick and pleasant negotiation with landman to get to $12,000 per acre. Now he tells me that the draft will not be paid and that they want to issue a new draft for $1,500 per acre, another 45 day draft. They have already recorded the lease at the Harrison County Court House (per the landman). I have not verified this. I am making a trip to Marshall on 12/12 and plan to check this out for myself. He stated that no one is offering more than $250 per acre now and I should grab the $1,500. As if they might change their mind again. Any suggestions?

Mr. Camp,

Would you consider posting your ROW information as a permanent part of the site, like the information at the bottom of the page submitted by Kassi and insomniacinnla?

It is extremely helpful to have an outline of items to discuss.

I still believe everyone should approach this with an attorney's assistance.
