With a bit of creative thought, nearly every title dispute can be characterized as a battle for the ownership of WI & NRI. In this webinar, Douglas M. Potter, CPL, provides his commentary as to the contested WI & NRI for selected Lawsuits within AAPL's Landman Magazine's [March/April, 2020 Vol 65 No. 2] article The Top 10 Texas Oil and Gas Cases of 2019. The commentary is not to be considered to be a legal opinion, but rather general guidance for Landmen in their daily work.

To prepare you for this webinar, the commentator suggests that the webinar registrant should familiarize himself/herself with the above AAPL article. The March/April 2020 Landman Magazine can be located here:
https://www.landman.org/resources/member-resources/landman-magazine 
(You must be logged in to view) - the specific article can be found further down this page, under "Additional Information" as a PDF.

After the webinar, AAPL’s Landnews Digest will serve as a “blog” to provide feedback and peer review of Mr. Potter’s comments.   AAPL’s Landnews Digest will also serve as a forum to exchange perspectives for similar circumstances in other oil producing states.  If you are not currently receiving AAPL’s Landnews Digest then please visit www.landman.org and subscribe.
