The Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law (FNREL), the Institute for Energy Law (IEL), and the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) are again co-sponsoring the live, in-person 39th Annual Oil and Gas Law Short Course with our newest co-sponsor, the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) in Houston, Texas. This is the only course of its kind: a one-week comprehensive, immersive oil and gas course, the majority of which is taught by oil and gas law professors from law schools throughout the nation along with a select few practitioners who are experts in their fields. This course focuses primarily on the principles of U.S. laws and state regulations. For in-depth treatment of international oil and gas, see our upcoming courses.
Topics covered include exploration and production operations; ownership, capture, and correlative rights; oil and gas leases; royalties; conveyancing; division orders; pooling and unitization; conservation regulation; local regulation; participation agreements; joint operating agreements; drilling contracts; marketing agreements; environmental regulation; ethics; and federal oil and gas lease management and operations.
Join us in Houston for this unique course – a comprehensive educational opportunity along with the chance to network with others in the field!
This course is essential for attorneys, landmen, paralegals, government employees, and others who practice or work in the oil and gas industry or related fields. The course provides 30.5 hours of continuing legal education or AAPL credit, including 2 hours of ethics. The registration fee includes substantial course materials, coffee breaks, and a hosted reception. Course materials are made available exclusively for course registrants.
Registration Cancellations: Refunds, less a $50 administrative fee, will be given for cancellations received by 3:00 pm Mountain time on Friday, September 30, 2022. No refunds will be given thereafter, although substitution of attendees may be made by contacting FNREL. Cancellations must be made in writing or email to info@fnrel.org. Registrants not entitled to a refund will receive a link to the written materials.
This program is only being offered in an in-person format. Your registration fee includes access to the electronic course materials. Short courses happen on an annual basis and are therefore not recorded.
