The purchaser of a new home wants to make certain he or she obtains good title to it. Likewise, the company that wants to lease the oil and gas under your land also must make sure that it is obtaining good title to that oil and gas. The drilling company is making a multi-million dollar investment in its drilling project, and good title to the oil and gas is a must. Title considerations in the leasing of oil and gas are similar to title considerations for any interest in real estate.
