Encana to enter oil-rich Texas with Athlon acquisition

Posted on Friday, October 10th, 2014 at 5:02 pm    

Encana Corp. is making its way into the oil and natural gas-rich Permian region of Texas after it announced its plan to buy Athlon Energy, an online Calgary Herald report stated on September 29.

Encana plans to buy the Texas-based energy firm for a little less than $6 billion and to assume its debt worth more than $1 billion. With this deal, the company envisions producing 250,000 barrels of oil per production day by 2017, which is five times what it produced last year. The company also believes the acquired land provides the company with around 5,000 possible new drilling spots.

Lawyer offers advice on mineral rights negotiations

Posted on Thursday, June 19th, 2014 at 3:50 pm    

A lawyer and Texas A&M assistant professor shared her knowledge about how to protect one’s surface property during mineral rights negotiations at the Grayson County courthouse on June 12, Fox Texoma reported.

In light of a burgeoning oil and gas industry in the state, the lawyer, assistant professor and extension specialist at Texas A&M Tiffany Dowell offered residents valuable tips to protect the surface estate during oil and gas leases. She advised landowners to ensure the inclusion of detailed rules on a lease to specify how the surface land should be used. If not, oil and gas companies can take advantage of the contract and not respect the land.

She further stated that consulting with an attorney before coming to an agreement with the oil company is a good way to protect landowners’ interests.
