		<description><![CDATA[Oil and gas leasing activity is still going on at a rapid pace and I continue to be amazed, sometimes appalled, at the variety of lease forms I&#8217;m seeing. It seems like every landman and every oil company has their own customized lease form. Some are more faithful to the &#8220;tried and true&#8221; standard provisions [...]]]></description>

Many of those people are searching for an oil and gas attorney because somebody sent them an oil and gas lease to sign. The past year or so, odds are the lease came from Chesapeake [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When somebody asks me an oil and gas law question, one of my frequent responses (besides the lawyer&#8217;s classic &#8220;it depends&#8221;) is &#8220;nothing&#8217;s ever black and white in the oil patch except maybe crude and snow&#8221;. I was recently asked how many feet an oil well has to be from a property line. The person [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m getting more and more calls and emails from landowners wanting advice about a lease they&#8217;ve just received from a landman or oil producer wanting to develop their land for oil and/or gas production. These inquiries are a challenge because there are very few short answers. A proper &#8220;review and comment&#8221; on their lease would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just now deleted a paragraph that constituted my first attempt at this article. It was too vague and nobody would have got the point. I recently came across the website of the Kansas Historical Society, called Kansaspedia. Aside from sheer interest in finding a lot of things I didn&#8217;t know about, the site got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stopped at the post office this morning to pick up mail. When I got out of the car, I noticed that the lanyard on the flagpole had apparently slipped and the US flag was on the ground. As I approached, at least six people looked at it and walked on by. When I got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January 13 I was one of four speakers at an oil and gas seminar in Overland Park, Kansas, put on by Half Moon Seminars. It had been nearly 30 years since I was a seminar speaker. With 40+ attendees it was considered a &#8220;sellout&#8221;, which surprised me. I didn&#8217;t think there could be enough [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 80&#8242;s and 90&#8242;s (and earlier but that was before my time) we had oil and gas leases that contained mostly &#8220;boilerplate&#8221; clauses. People often referred to a standard &#8220;Producer&#8217;s 88&#8243; lease. There were, actually, dozens of variations on the so-called &#8220;Producer&#8217;s 88&#8243;, but the variations were mostly a matter of which boilerplate [...]]]></description>

Recently I noticed some organizations Twittering like mad. Prior to these, I was getting a lot of Facebook friend requests. Before all of those I had to actually set spam filters specifically for MySpace, thanks to all the babes wanting to make contact with [...]]]></description>
