Session 2: The Oil and Gas Lease, Part II: The Royalty Clause in an Oil and Gas Lease - In Texas, the calculation of the royalty obligation created under an oil and gas lease is determined by looking at the specific language contained in the royalty clause. This session focuses on some of the principal phrases used to describe such obligations and how the Texas courts have interpreted them, and takes a look at how that same language has been interpreted differently in other jurisdictions. The impact of division and transfer orders are analyzed to determine how such instruments may affect the royalty obligations contained in the lease.
Session 3: The Oil and Gas Lease, Part III: Implied Covenants - An outline of the law of implied covenants, including duties imposed, standards applied and remedies available.
Session 4: The Oil and Gas Lease, Part IV: Other Clauses - A review of other clauses in an oil and gas lease, including surface use clauses and riders, retained acreage and proportionate reduction clauses and savings clauses such as continuous operations, dry hole, force majeure and shut-in gas royalty clauses.
