Major Revival

November 1, 2012 by PBOG

Oil booms. There was one in the 1950s and another in the late 1970s.  People flocked to the towns in West Texas and southeast New Mexico. Companies were started and large ones expanded. Schools, housing, shopping all grew. People worked hard, played hard, and spent a lot of money.   These were followed by that […]

Veteran Players

November 1, 2012 by PBOG

This great nation of ours celebrates Veterans Day this month. On Monday the 12th, federal employees will have a day off from work in recognition of this occasion. (The “legal,” traditional date is the 11th, a Sunday this year.) Whether we are relieved of work or not on that day, we all ought be relieved, […]

When JOA’s Pass to Subsequent Purchasers The Joint Operating Agreement—not always the simplest contract to interpret—can spawn additional issues when “heirs, successors, and assigns” enter the picture.   In late June of this year, TransTexas Gas Corp. (Sandridge Onshore, LLC, is now TransTexas’ successor in interest) filed a petition for review in the Texas Supreme […]

Doug Robison, Chairman, PBPA

This organization’s influence extends beyond its geographic boundaries, and beyond its day-to-day obligations, as well. You ever jump out of the frying pan into the fire? This being my last article as Chairman of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, I was thinking that in passing the position of Chairman on to Mark Merritt there would […]

November marks the emergence of two issues requiring close scrutiny: Rule 13 and the Lesser Prairie Chicken   Late last month, several PBPA board members and I traveled to Austin to testify on the Railroad Commission’s proposed changes to Rule 13, which addresses new casing, cementing and completion requirements. The Rule has not been updated […]

Angela Staples

JOAs and Liability In April of this year, I wrote about a case that was currently before the Texas Supreme Court titled “Wendell Reeder v. Wood County Energy, LLC, et al.” In that case, the operator, Reeder, argued that the 1989 Model Form Joint Operating Agreement’s exculpatory clause prevented him from being held liable for […]

Here we go again. By now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will have proposed listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken as either Threatened or Endangered. This is another result of the legal settlement between the USFW and the Centers for Biological Diversity and the WildEarth Guardians, which brought us the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard listing proposal.
