Oil & Gas Laws West Virginia Landowners Should Know
As a land owner, you have the right to develop, extract, and profit from the natural resources (such as coal, gas, or oil) on your land. Many landowners choose to sell or lease those rights to large companies, but it’s important to be sure your rights and interests are honored by these companies.
At Hansberry & Wagoner, PLLC, we’ll help you understand the intricacies of West Virginia law, help you negotiate fairly and profitably, and ensure your family is respected.
The In’s & Out’s Of West Virginia Drilling Agreements
When you enter into an agreement with a large corporation to drill, the agreement you sign should include terms of compensation for the oil, as well as compensation for the value of any timber or crops destroyed by drilling and any loss of value to your land.
It’s important to be sure that any agreements you sign compensate you fairly and comprehensively for your mineral rights and any losses on your property.
When big corporations come to the table, it’s vital to hold them accountable and ensure you’re fairly compensated. Allow us to review all contracts and be sure that you and your family are treated justly and with respect.
