Oil Gas Property Lease Lawyer - Alberta

The principal challenge associated with negotiating a property or mineral lease for purposes of conferring you natural gas or oil rights in your property to a commercial lessor is in realizing the greatest return from your lease, while giving up the least amount possible.

Far too frequently exploration/production companies promise big dreams with accelerated exploration and operational schedules, and instead continually delay and minimized the work that they actually undertake (for a multitude of reasons, which are only beneficial to their own business interests). Unfortunately, they have craftily negotiated these contractual provisions into the lease agreement that they put before you, with lofty financial projections that are exceedingly difficult to manifest.

There are an overwhelming number of challenges associated with lease negotiations as to the oil and gas rights associated with your property. Blindly accepting those terms and conditions could prove extremely costly, such that you need to have your position aggressively negotiated, with the representation of knowledgeable legal counsel. A skilled lawyer can make a significant difference in the final form of the lease agreement that will define your financial fortunes from the oil and gas sector.
