Oil & Gas Transactions
Texas Oil and Gas Law Attorneys
Zukowski, Bresenhan & Sinex, L.L.P. represents clients involved in the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and gas properties. We handle all oil and gas contract drafting, oil and gas leases, review and implementation issues. We prepare title opinions from leasehold opinions to division order opinions to unit opinions to limited acquisition opinions. We also resolve oil and gas disputes through litigation, arbitration and mediation.
Many of the transactions involving oil and gas leases, oil drilling and oil royalties are done by what we refer to as custom and usage in the trade, which means that there is not a lot of law available to tell you how to write the contract. Unlike simple real estate transactions which may use "fill-in-the-blanks" contracts, oil and gas contracts do not lend themselves to any pre-written form. Unless you have an oil and gas lawyer with a good background in custom and usage in the trade, the landman will know more about how to draft the contract than the lawyer will.
Zukowski, Bresenhan & Sinex, L.L.P. offers a high level of experience in oil and gas law. Firm Partner Donald G. Sinex is certified as an oil and gas law specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Our expertise allows us to help oil and gas companies in a wide variety of matters, from exploration and production to pipeline work. We help our clients get into deals and out of deals, from the beginning of a project until the end.
