Energy Group: Title Opinions & Contract Preparation

Preparation of unit title opinions is key to the exploration and development of hydrocarbons by Oklahoma operators. Energy Group members perform title examinations based upon a review of abstracts or a “stand-up” examination of county records and prepare unit drilling and division order title opinions. The Firm’s energy attorneys also prepare drilling and exploration contracts, joint venture agreements, farmout agreements, gas marketing and other product sales contracts, management and operating agreements, and various other energy-related contracts.

Pray Walker attorneys practicing in this area include:
