Improper Road Maintenance

How does improper road maintenance impact an oil or gas lease agreement?

Improper road maintenance issues can turn into a very serious problem for commercial drilling operations and private landowners alike. When access roads that lead to oil or natural gas drilling sites are not maintained properly, they become susceptible to erosion, debris and other effects that can greatly increase the risk of a shale truck accident or other accident that results in personal injury or costly damage to property. If you have some involvement in an accident of this nature, consult a Texas oil and gas law attorney who understands how liability is assigned in accidents or damage related to improper road maintenance.

Surface use agreements are legally-binding contracts that outline a set of regulations and requirements that a landowner and commercial entity must follow in order to avoid legal ramifications. An experienced lawyer will be sure that any agreement contains stipulations that address road maintenance and the requirement for proper upkeep. Violation of these guidelines can result in financial penalties and other consequences that could spell disaster for an otherwise fruitful relationship.
