Oil & Gas
Coterie Law provides focused, affordable oil and gas legal counsel to individual mineral owners, royalty holders, lessors, and small landowners throughout Oklahoma. We help everyday Oklahomans protect their mineral interests, understand their leases, resolve royalty problems, and navigate the legal complexities of oil and gas ownership without the overhead of a large firm. Whether you inherited mineral rights, received a lease offer, notice your royalties stopped, or need a title opinion before selling, we offer personalized attention and clear communication every step of the way.
1
Title Examination & Mineral Ownership Confirmation
We research and prepare simple title opinions and ownership confirmations for individual mineral owners, helping you understand what you own, identify title defects, and prepare deeds, assignments, or affidavits to quiet title before selling or leasing.
2
Mineral Deeds, Transfers & Heirship
We prepare and review mineral deeds, conveyances, and transfers; assist with probate-related mineral transfers; and help resolve heirship issues so minerals pass clearly to the right owners.
3
Lease Review & Negotiation for Individual Owners
We review oil and gas lease offers, explain key terms (bonus, royalty, duration, pooling), negotiate better terms on your behalf, and draft or review lease assignments to protect your interests before you sign.
4
Royalty & Division Order Problems
We help when royalties are suspended, underpaid, or delayed; when division orders are incorrect; or when operators fail to pay. We investigate the problem, communicate with operators, and resolve payment issues through negotiation or litigation if needed.
5
Pooling & Small Unit Questions
We explain forced pooling, small unitization, and spacing orders from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission; help you understand your rights when your minerals are pooled; and represent you in simple OCC applications when needed.
6
Lease Defaults & Post-Termination Rights
We advise when a lease has expired, when operators are holding leases past term, or when production has stopped. We help you terminate old leases, release interests, and prepare to re-lease on better terms.
7
Buying & Selling Mineral Interests
We assist individuals buying or selling mineral rights by reviewing purchase agreements, conducting basic due diligence, preparing assignments, and ensuring clear title transfers.
