Oil & Gas Law

Attorneys at The Law Offices of Young Wooldridge are knowledgeable concerning the law of oil and gas interests in California on private and/or government land, including the transfer of such interests both by sale and by lease, the rights and duties arising from such interests, and liens relating to such interests. Our oil and gas clients are typically mineral holders, oil producers, operating companies, subcontractors, drilling companies and buyers of production, including refineries.

Our attorneys are comfortable with any size transaction, from the sale of an entire producing oil and gas field to the transfer of a fractional interest created by reservation and/or lease. If the underlying oil and gas documents require enforcement or interpretation, our attorneys are experienced litigators capable of judicially resolving disputes in both state and federal courts.

Persons who provide labor, equipment and materials for an oil and gas development are entitled to California lien rights. Attorneys at the law firm are experienced in perfecting and foreclosing on such liens for claimants as well as defending such actions on behalf of the landowner.

Our goal is to achieve our clients’ objectives in the most cost efficient manner possible. At the same time, we hope to develop a personal and lasting relationship with the client.
