Oil & Gas Law

At Perkins & Trotter, we assist clients in all aspects of oil and gas law.  Our attorneys represent parties before the Arkansas Oil & Gas Commission and assist private landowners and businesses with oil and gas leases and other transactions.  Oil & gas development activity has increased dramatically in central Arkansas in the geological formation known as the Fayetteville Shale.

Our attorneys’ knowledge of oil & gas leasing, geological formations, Arkansas Oil & Gas Commission proceedings and up-to-date information on drilling and leasing activity, can be invaluable in assisting both industry clients and private individuals.

We assist industry clients and individuals with many oil & gas issues, including:

• Arkansas Oil & Gas Commission applications and hearings;

• Negotiating oil and gas leases for landowners;

• Advising landowners about lease issues;
