Oil and Gas Lease Negotiation in Arkansas

An oil and gas lease is not a simple document.

It is a long-term contract that can affect your income and your property rights for decades.

Key lease terms that must be reviewed carefully include:

• Royalty percentage

• Post-production cost deductions

• Pugh clauses

• Depth severance

• Continuous development

• Shut-in royalty provisions

• Environmental protections

• Surface use limitations

If you own minerals in:

White County Arkansas
Cleburne County Arkansas
Van Buren County Arkansas
Faulkner County Arkansas
Conway County Arkansas
Pope County Arkansas
Yell County Arkansas
Sebastian County Arkansas
Crawford County Arkansas
Franklin County Arkansas
Logan County Arkansas
Union County Arkansas
Columbia County Arkansas
Lafayette County Arkansas
Miller County Arkansas

you may already be receiving lease offers or development notices.

Do not sign an Arkansas oil and gas lease without understanding exactly what you are agreeing to.

Suspended Oil and Gas Royalties in Arkansas

Are your Arkansas oil and gas royalties being held in suspense?

Companies often delay payments because of:

• Probate issues

• Missing heir documentation

• Affidavit of heirship problems

• Title defects

• Incorrect ownership percentages

If you own oil and gas royalties in White County, Faulkner County, Cleburne County, Van Buren County, Union County, Columbia County, or Miller County, and your royalties are being held, there is usually a legal path to resolve the issue.

Mark Robinette assists Arkansas mineral owners with:

• Arkansas probate for mineral title

• Out-of-state will probate in Arkansas

• Oil and gas title curative

• Communication with division order analysts

• Clearing title defects efficiently

Because he has worked in oil and gas operations and for state regulatory agencies, he understands how companies process ownership and royalty payments.

That experience matters.

Surface Use and Damage Agreements in Arkansas

If you own the surface estate in Arkansas — even if you do not own the minerals — you still have important rights.

Oil and gas development may involve:

• Drilling locations

• Access roads

• Tank batteries

• Saltwater disposal lines

• Gathering lines

• Transmission pipelines

• Electric lines

If you are in Faulkner County, Conway County, Sebastian County, Crawford County, Franklin County, or Polk County and are being approached for surface access, you need a properly drafted surface use and damage agreement.

Arkansas law provides limited automatic protection.

Your agreement is your best protection.

There is usually only one opportunity to negotiate strong surface protections before development begins.

Pipeline Easement Negotiation in Arkansas

Pipeline companies operate throughout Arkansas oil and gas producing regions, including:

Union County
Columbia County
Lafayette County
Miller County
White County
Van Buren County
Logan County
Sebastian County

Pipeline easements can affect:

• Future development of your property

• Timber value

• Farming operations

• Drainage

• Liability exposure

• Access rights

Mark Robinette has significant experience in right-of-way and pipeline easement negotiations and understands how to protect long-term land value — not just negotiate a one-time payment.

Why Choose an Arkansas Oil and Gas Attorney with Industry Experience

Few Arkansas oil and gas attorneys have:

• Worked for exploration and production companies

• Served as an attorney for Arkansas energy and environmental regulatory agencies

• Worked inside right-of-way and pipeline acquisition operations

• Spent 20 years handling oil and gas matters from multiple sides

That depth of experience means your lawyer understands both the legal structure and the practical realities of oil and gas development in Arkansas.

When companies negotiate every day, experience matters.
