Our mineral practice touches all aspects of the leasing, acquisition, exploration, operation, closing, and sale of mineral and undeveloped properties located on federal, state and privately owned land. Our attorneys have also handled title work on mineral properties, mine acquisition and development, regulatory permitting, surface use agreements, compliance and enforcement matters, mine safety, reclamation and environmental compliance.
We have resolved oil and gas disputes through negotiation, arbitration and litigation, and successfully represented royalty owners in obtaining accurate royalty accountings and payment of unpaid royalties. Dufford Waldeck also prepares mineral title opinions and diligence investigations for drilling, division orders, acquisitions and financing, as well as negotiating surface use agreements to limit the impact of drilling on clients' farms and ranches.
