Oil, Gas & Mineral Law

The firm has an extensive and broad commercial law practice in the oil and gas industry as we have been representing oil and gas operators in Pennsylvania for over twenty-five (25) years. We represent small to large-size Appalachian Baisn oil and gas operators in Pennsylvania. We also serve as general counsel for the Independent Oil & Gas Association of Pennsylvania (IOGA-PA).

We handle significant and complex federal and state court litigation, as well as litigation before the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) on behalf of oil and gas operators. Specifically, we frequently handle title disputes, quiet title actions, oil and gas lease issues, permitting, surface, easement and pipeline concerns, local and municipal issues, and all other litigation matters relating to oil and gas issues.

The firm provides oil and gas operators with thorough but timely oil and gas title opinions (Certificates of Title) as well as coalbed methane (CBM) title opinions (Certificates of Title).

We also negotiate, draft and review of all types of oil, gas, and mineral agreements such as oil and gas leases, coalbed methane leases, joint venture agreements and syndication agreements, right of ways, assignments, operating agreements, farmout agreements, exploration agreements, participation agreements, and acquisition, sale and merger transactional documents.

Furthermore, we prepare private placement memorandums (PPM's) and create limited partnerships for oil and gas operators' annual drilling programs.
