April 2021 OCAPL Record

Trees are blooming and warmer weather is finally upon us. Patio weather has arrived! April has been a busy month for OCAPL and it has been a welcomed change of pace.

Earlier this month on April 5th, we held our first in person meeting in over 12 months and we had a great turnout. It was a special one as we were finally able to present the 2020 OCAPL awards. Congratulations again to our award winners. We are very fortunate to have these individuals as members of our organization.

2020 William Majors Distinguished Service Award Recipient - Jeff N. Brooks, CPL

2020 Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient - J. O. Easley

2020 Landman of the Year Recipient - Robert O. Rice, CPL

Thank you again for all your years of service and dedication to OCAPL and our industry!

Earlier this month on April 5th, we held part 2 of “Oil & Gas vs. Solar” with Phillip Guerra, J.D., CPL, Land Acquisition Manager with ForeFront Power. The second one was just as good as the first one. If you missed it, both part 1 and 2 will be available for viewing on the OCAPL website for members only. It can be found on our website under the “Past Events”. I highly recommend you check it out.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar for next month’s webinar on May 3rd, 2021. Next month’s topic is “Recent Developments in Oil and Gas Law” with Paul Trimble of Trimble Law. You will not want to miss this one! If you are interested in sponsoring one of our webinar events and would like more details, please send an email to OCAPL at [email protected]

Join us for lunch Thursday, April 29th, 2021 at 12:00PM CST for a live educational webinar via Zoom! Presented

by the OCAPL Field Landman Seminar Committee, featuring Reagan M. Marble from Jackson Walker, LLP’s San Antonio office. Reagan will be delivering an important ethics presentation titled “A Legal & Ethical Checklist for Mineral Buyers, Lease Brokers, & Their Lawyers”.

On June 11th this year, we will be hosting our annual OCAPL Fishing Tournament. Although the venue has changed from its normal location due to COVID19 restrictions at the OU Biological Station, I want to encourage you to come out and join us. This year we are focusing on networking and enjoying the great outdoors. My hope is that since this is close to the city, we will have new participants this year. Keep in mind, you don’t have to fish. You can just mingle and enjoy the good grub and beverages that will be provided. I hope to see you there!

April is our last month for accepting applications for financial assistance to help cover the cost of your membership dues. Just send OCAPL an email with a letter (referencing it as “2021 Relief Assistance”) requesting financial assistance for your 2021 membership dues to the OCAPL Executive Committee at [email protected]

Please take a moment to review the Calendar of Events below detailing upcoming Events!

On a final note, I really enjoyed seeing everyone in person at our first in person meeting of the year. It was a great opportunity to network and rekindle those working relationships. We have some awesome events coming up and this is a great opportunity for you to get involved.If you ever have a question or concern, please do not hesitate to reach out.

OCAPL RecordPresident’s Letter-February 2021

BRRRRRR it’s cold outside! When is February going to be over? We have currently been dealing with temperatures below freezing for over a week and have set the 2nd coldest temperature in Oklahoma City on record at -14 degrees without a windchill. We have all been dealing with slick roads, power outages, freezing pipes and rolling blackouts. I would have never imagined that we would experience a rolling blackout, but here we are. I know for me, spring can’t come fast enough! Normally, February is a month for Land Professionals to gather at the George R. Brown convention center in Houston for the NAPE Summit but due to the ongoing challenges presented by COVID-19 the 2021 NAPE Summit has been postponed to August 18-20, 2021.

Earlier this month, on February 1st, we held our first webinar speaker of the year. The topic was “Solar vs. Oil & Gas” presented by Phillip Guerra, J.D., CPL, Land Acquisition Manager with ForeFront Power. Let me say, this was OCAPL’s first webinar and I really enjoyed it. Our Education Chairs, Clarke Richards and Chase Payton did a fantastic job, along with Phillip Guerra J.D., CPL. Job well done, gentlemen! If you missed the webinar you are in luck, we have a copy of the presentation and it can be found on our website under the “Past Events”. I highly recommend you check it out.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar for next month’s webinar March 1, 2021. Meredith Wegener will be presenting on “Constitutionality of Natural Gas Bans”. Should be an interesting topic! If you are interested in sponsoring one of our webinar events and would like more details, please send an email to OCAPL at [email protected].

OCAPL’s Education Committee in conjunction with the Monday Night Committee have been working hard to find a solution for us to be able to gather and hold our first in-person event. Tentatively we are planning on hosting our first

Monday Night Meeting of the year at the Social Capital utilizing their outside area with COVID restrictions applying. I know we are all eager to get back to some normalcy, but we will only do it if it’s safe.

Please take a moment to review the Calendar of Events below detailing upcoming events!

On a final note, please take the time to renew your membership and encourage co-workers and fellow Landmen to join OCAPL. More than ever this is a time that we need to lean on each other through networking and staying connected. Our organization is not only connected to the oil and gas industry, but to charities and non-profits that we love giving back to. Without our membership we wouldn’t be able to give back to those organizations.

We are still accepting applications for financial assistance to help cover the cost of your membership dues. Please do not be shy about applying. We want to help out as many members as we can. Just send OCAPL an email with a letter (referencing it as "2021 Relief Assistance") requesting financial assistance for your 2021 membership dues to the OCAPL Executive Committee at [email protected]. Almost forgot, currently WTI Is at $61.13 and natural gas prices are $3.22! We have come a long way in a short time from negative prices. If you ever have a question or concern, please do not hesitate to reach out.

INDUSTRY AFFAIRSLeading oil and gas CEOs fall in with Biden’s climate change campaignBy JENNIFER A. DLOUHY on 3/23/2021

WASHINGTON (Bloomberg) --Chief executives of some of the largest U.S. oil companies promised to collaborate with the Biden administration in its campaign against climate change during a meeting Monday with White House National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy.The oil industry leaders pledged support for federal regulations explicitly limiting emissions of methane from wells and other oilfield equipment -- a declaration that dovetails with President Joe Biden’s vow to clamp down on leaks of the potent greenhouse gas.They also cheered the U.S. return to the Paris climate agreement and urged greater government support of carbon-capture and hydrogen technology that can help the country fulfill new carbon-cutting pledges set to be unveiled next month, according to two people familiar with the session that was conducted

over Zoom.McCarthy underscored how Biden’s “plans

to tackle the climate crisis are centered around propelling our equitable economic recovery, positioning America to win the 21st century and creating millions of good-paying, union jobs directly in American communities,” the White House said in a statement after the session. “She made clear that the administration is not fighting the oil and gas sector, but fighting to create union jobs, deploy emission reduction technologies, strengthen American manufacturing and fuel the American economy.”The meeting, which included executives from three industry trade groups and 10 oil companies -- including Exxon Mobil Corp., BP Plc, ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Chevron Corp. and Devon Energy Corp. -- was the first of its kind since Biden’s inauguration in January. It comes after he imposed a moratorium on

INDUSTRY AFFAIRSthe sale of oil and gas leases on federal land, and as his administration prepares to unveil a new emission-reduction goal next month as part of the U.S. return to the Paris climate agreement.The meeting was described as pleasant, without the kind of acrimony that colored some of the oil industry’s exchanges with former President Barack Obama’s administration. The format did not allow for a deep, back-and-forth dialogue. Instead, McCarthy opened the meeting, followed by remarks from Laura Daniel-Davis, the Interior Department’s principal deputy assistant secretary for land and minerals management, and each of the industry participants. Dave Lawler, the chairman of BP America Inc., kicked off their comments.Almost of all of the executives in the virtual session made a pitch for putting a price on carbon dioxide emissions -- a policy shift they said could trigger greater investment in

emission-reducing technology while fostering more certainty for energy companies. The American Petroleum Institute is considering endorsing a carbon price, which could take the form of an emissions-trading program or a tax on heat-trapping greenhouse gases.“Our industry regularly engages with all levels of government and wants to ensure that policy makers in Washington understand that we can achieve our shared goal for a low-carbon future while strengthening American energy leadership and supporting the nation’s economic recovery,’ said API President Mike Sommers in an emailed statement. “We are committed to working with the White House to develop effective government policies that help meet the ambitions of the Paris agreement and support a cleaner future.”

INDUSTRY AFFAIRSTexas moves to block California-style natural gas ban in homes and businessesBy MARK CHEDIAK on 3/30/2021

(Bloomberg) --Texas moved to stop the city of Austin and others from imposing a California-style ban on natural gas in new homes and buildings, the latest salvo in the gas industry’s bid to protect itself from local climate regulations.The Texas House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday that would bar cities and towns from restricting natural gas hookups in new construction or utility services. The measure passed along with a series of bills designed to prevent a repeat of last month’s catastrophic blackouts that left millions in the dark for days and killed more than 100.The move comes after Austin weighed a proposal to phase out use of the fossil fuel as part of the city’s climate plan. More than 40 cities in California including San Francisco have passed measures designed to end gas

connections into homes amid concerns over the fuel’s contribution to global warming.The gas industry has started pushing back against the local restrictions, which are starting to pop up outside of California. Big gas producing states including Louisiana and Oklahoma have passed legislation prohibiting local bans and several other states are considering similar measures.Natural gas is used to heat about 35% of homes in Texas with electricity used for home heating for 61% of residences, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. However, most modern furnaces require electricity to function.The bill in Texas will now move to the state Senate, which has expressed support for the gas industry.

Q: I’m trying to secure leases from a family. One of the siblings has been missing for more than ten years. They actually believe he is probably dead, but do not have any direct proof of that. As he has been missing for more than seven years, can we presume that he is deceased? For someone who has been missing, is a court proceeding necessary for the per-son to be declared dead? – T.H.

A: In the movie Cast Away, the Helen Hunt char-acter (Kelly) tells the Tom Hanks character (Chuck) that as he had been missing and presumed dead af-ter a plane crash, a court declared him to be legally dead.

In almost all states, in the absence of a death certificate, to be declared “legally” dead, a court proceeding is necessary. In essence, there are two types of events where this comes up. First, if a per-son has been missing and unaccounted for more than seven years under Oklahoma law, he may be declared to be legally dead. Second, if a person is missing after an accident or exposed to “imminent peril” and fail to return, then the person can be de-clared dead without waiting the requisite amount of time. In other words, if a person goes down in an airplane crash in the ocean, such as Chuck, then it is not necessary to wait the requisite seven years.

In the United States, it is estimated that there are between 60,000 to 100,000 people who are missing, but have not been declared legally dead. Missing people can be a result of many things, in-cluding mental health issues, financial problems, or even, possibly, alien abduction.

There are a few occasions where people were declared legally dead, but subsequently reap-peared such as the Tom Hanks character. In 1994, an Ohio Court declared Donald Miller dead several years after he mysteriously disappeared, so that his wife Robin Miller could apply for Social Secu-rity benefits for their two daughters. Nineteen years later, Mr. Miller reappeared wanting to apply for a drivers license and reactivate his Social Security number. To do that, he had to petition the court to reverse its declaration of death. In the interim, Mrs. Miller remarried (to another man named Miller). The

lawyer for Ms. Miller Miller opposed the petition on the grounds that she might have to return the ben-efit payments received from Social Security, but did not have the ability to do so. Further, there is a pre-sumption under most states that once a judgment has been rendered, it becomes final and it cannot be attacked several years after the finality. The Ohio Court ruled that the Ohio law does not allow a decla-ration of death to be reversed after three years. The court told Mr. Miller that he was still deceased as far as the law was concerned. The movie Cast Away was accurate as it appears that Chuck had been exposed to “imminent peril” and did not return. However, Chuck could, perhaps, petition a Tennessee court to be declared alive as he reappeared.

Questions from the FieldTimothy C. Dowd

ELIAS BOOKS BROWN & NELSON

Editor’s Note: Each month this column will be devoted to answering oil and gas title questions.

Q: I examined an Oil and Gas Lease dated July 1, 1984, covering tracts in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I have also examined copies of Oklahoma Corporation Commission Completion Reports (Form 1002) for the Smith 1-1 Well drilled in the SE/4 and the Smith No. 2 Well located in the NE/4 of Section 1.

During the primary term of the lease, two wells were drilled on the lands in Section 1. The first well, which is denoted as the Smith 1-1 Well, was commenced on October 13, 1984 and drilled in the S/2 SE/4 (which is not part of the leased tract). The Smith 1-1 was completed in a formation, which was established as a 160-acre drilling and spacing unit for the SE/4.

A second well, denoted as the Smith No. 2 Well, was drilled in the NE/4 of Section 1 (part of the leased tract) on April 24, 1986, and completed in the Hartshorne formation. The Hartshorne formation has not been established as a drilling and spacing unit for the NE/4 of Section 1.

Does the drilling of the Smith 1-1 Well in a drilling and spacing unit of 160-acres cause the lease to terminate outside the SE/4? What is the impact of the Smith No. 2 Well Well on the extension of the Smith 1-1 lease?

A: Title 52 O.S. 87.1(b) recites: "In case of a spacing unit of one hundred and sixty (160) acres or more, no oil and/or gas leasehold interest outside the spacing unit involved may be held by production from the spacing unit not more than ninety (90) days beyond expiration of the primary term of the lease." (This statute is frequently described as the “Statutory Pugh Clause”).

Unfortunately, there is no case law and only one law review article that construes this statute and its impact on wells drilled. The only guidance is the wording of the statute. In this situation the oil and gas lease would not have been extended solely by virtue of production from the spacing unit and the well drilled in the SE/4, but the lease was

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSOINAL LANDMEN QUARTERLY BOARD of DIRECTORS MEETING, HYBRID MEETING, VIRTUAL & FORT WORTH, TX

March 14, 2021 The Hybrid AAPL Quarterly Board Meeting was held on March 14th, 2021 in the Omni Fort Worth and simulcast virtually through Zoom. Lester Zitkus, AAPL President, called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Jay Beavers, followed by the introduction of guests and roll call of the Executive Committee, Directors and Committee Chairs. New Directors/Temporary and Sub-Directors were seated. Upon adoption of the agenda, the minutes from the last board meeting on December 12th, 2020 were adopted by acclamation. Treasurer’s Report: Kyle Reynolds, Treasurer, provided a report on AAPL and its affiliates for the period ending December 31, 2020 as follows:

AAPL, Inc.’s total assets are $42,753,477, while total liabilities are $1,390,906. Revenues (exclusive of investment revenue) totaled $1,083,266 as of December 31, 2020. This is a decrease of

41% from December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to decreases in NAPE Expo distributions, educational seminar fees, and membership dues.

Expenses through December 31, 2020 totaled $2,619,899. This is a decrease of 20%. The decrease in expenses is mostly comprised of education (decrease of $332,252 or 80.1%), board meeting (decrease of $155,960 or 98.8%), and G&A expenses (decrease of $116,549 or 6%)

Investments as of December 31, 2020 are $36,280,153 which is an increase of $4,448,422 or 14% as compared to the same period last year. The change has been the result of unrealized and realized gains due to market activity in the AAPL investment account.

As of December 31, 2020, the Education Foundation, Inc.’s balance sheet reflects $5,150,620, which is an increase of $529,072 as compared to the same period last year. The Statement of Investment Accounts reflects $4,911,534 total monies invested which is an increase of $531,119 as compared to the same period last year.

As of December 31, 2020, the Landman Scholarship Trust’s balance sheet reflects $9,116,226 which is an increase of $1,026,641 as compared to the same period last year. The Statement of Investment Accounts reflects $8,220,525 total monies invested, which is an increase of $606,026 as compared to the same period last year.

AAPL General Report: This was the first in-person meeting since March of 2020. It was also simulcast virtually through zoom. To benefit membership and in response to Covid-19, a schedule of 10 complimentary one-hour webinars was

developed and began in March 2020. This is in addition to the free monthly streaming videos that can be found on the AAPL website.

Wind and Solar focused webinars are coming soon. 2020 AAPL membership totaled 12,357 members, this is a -19.63% change from 2019 AAPL Membership dues were set to automatically rise from $125 to $150, however because of the state of the

industry the board voted to delay the increase for another year. The change to AAPL’s definition of “Landwork” was approved to go to membership vote. The goal of said

change is to make AAPL more inclusive of alternative energy sources including but not limited to wind and solar.

change is to make AAPL more inclusive of alternative energy sources including but not limited to wind and solar.
