Manual of Oil and Gas is an easy-to-use desk reference that defines the words and phrases most useful to lawyers, landmen, ants, investors in oil and gas properties, students and others involved in the industry. For example, a petroleum engineer might find the book helpful on the meaning of the "Unless" clause in an oil and gas lease; a landman might refer to the Manual to clarify the purpose and meaning of various lease clauses; a lawyer, ant, or investor might use it to define financing and tax consequences. The Manual features:

Close to 6,000 precise definitions of legal, engineering, and tax (including acronyms) relating to the oil and gas industry, with definitions based—wherever possible—on actual cases;

A comprehensive survey of new and recent colloquialisms;

Annotations that include useful references to statutes, cases, books and law review articles;

Entries listed in alphabetical order to easily locate a desired term; and

Ample cross-references to the 8-volume treatise, Williams & Meyers, Oil and Gas Law.

The eBook versions of this title feature links to Lexis Advance for further legal research options.
