Freeze-Related Lease Litigation: The Growing Storm in the Oil Patch
Open to view video.
Open to view video. In February 2021, winter storm, Uri, wreaked havoc across some of the most productive mineral plays in the nation. Thus far, litigation surrounding the storm has generally been limited to tort actions for personal injury and property damage. But looming on the horizon is a potential avalanche of freeze-related lawsuits, brought against operators and other working interest owners, by lessors with significant claims for lease termination and the underpayment of royalties. Get ahead of the curve and learn about the anticipated contours of these claims and the steps you can take now to prepare to defend against them. Speakers: Tom Ciarlone and Demetri Economou

Carbon Capture and Sequestration
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Panel discussion from 2023 Annual Meeting. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCUS) provides tremendous opportunities and challenges for land professionals. CCUS projects will require extensive land rights from surface and, in some cases, mineral owners. These may include rights of way, injection easements, wellbore assignments, subordination agreements, access agreements, and geophysical acquisition permits in areas that could span tens of thousands of acres. The markets for these interests are just beginning to develop, raising issues with valuation. Additionally, many property owners may be uncomfortable or unfamiliar with carbon storage creating unique social acceptance challenges. These and other emerging issues will be discussed by experts in carbon storage who are leading commercial scale onshore CCUS projects in numerous geographic regions of the United States.
