Some Questions Arising From The Diverse Ownership Of Lands Penetrated By A Horizontal Well, Thomas A. Harrell
Annual Institute on Mineral Law
The purpose of this brief outline it to raise some questions and suggest some problems that may arise as a consequence of the drilling of socalled horizontal wells, particularly in those cases where the ownership of the lands on which and under which such wells may be located are either separately owned, or otherwise fragmented.

Annual Institute on Mineral Law
and in title examination upon which the public records doctrine and the "new recording act"' have a bearing. Although most of these issues have existed as potential problems for many years, the extraordinary value of the Haynesville Shale play which has been taking place in Northwest Louisiana recently has caused these and other issues to be disputed more frequently, and at greater stakes. The Haynesville Shale play has given new meaning to the term "other valuable consideration," with consideration being paid to lessors and assignors/sublessors at rates not previously seen in this area of the country. Landowners in this area …

A Toe In The Water: A Primer On Louisiana Riparian Law And Emerging Issues, Mark Davis
A Toe In The Water: A Primer On Louisiana Riparian Law And Emerging Issues, Mark Davis
Annual Institute on Mineral Law
Louisiana has a long and complex relationship with water, one that figures to get more interesting and complex in the years ahead. Culturally and economically, water has shaped Louisiana in powerful and obvious ways. Legally, the relationship has been more obscure, defined more by specific uses and periodic crises that command great attention, than by a systematic approach to management. Louisiana is hardly unique in this regard; indeed this has been the general approach that "wet" eastern and southern states have taken to water management and law. As a result, water law as a discipline and area of practice has …

Local Land Use Regulation Of Oil And Gas Development: Pumpjacks And Preemption, Bruce M. Kramer
Annual Institute on Mineral Law
Today, the regulation of oil and gas exploration and production activities by substate governmental units has reemerged after a lengthy quiescent period. Oil and gas activities obviously take place where the oil and gas is located. Historically that has been in rural areas, although there are clear exceptions. Population growth and urban sprawl has brought the citizenry to where the oil and gas wells are. People who move to the country not only want urban amenities, they also want the "peace and quiet" that they believe exists in the idyllic rural surroundings. One does not want to exchange the noise …
