It will be interesting to see just how much the industry is able to grow US oil production.  Between the Bakken and Eagle Ford alone it looks like there is a going to be a very material impact.

All,

Last week we sent an alert, urging you to send a letter to the Railroad Commission telling them not to railroad Texans’ property rights via new rules for the Mineral Interest Pooling Act (MIPA) – the law that authorizes forced pooling.

If you haven’t done so, it’s not too late to send a letter.

But even better than sending a letter, come say your piece in person.

WHAT: Railroad Commission hearing to consider whether to proceed with new forced pooling rules under MIPA

WHEN: January 30th at 9:00 am

WHERE: William B. Travis State Office Building, Room 1-111 1701 N. Congress Ave., Austin, TX

WHY: The reason the TRC is considering the rules now? Among other things, they want to legitimize railroading (hah!) small landowners -- who want no part of production/leasing -- into not just drilling, but PAYING for the drilling they don't want. If the well isn't profitable, new rules could wind up losing landowners money.

Thank you!

P.S. If you haven’t yet sent a letter to the Commission, click here to do so.
