Luncheon Topic:  "The Care, Feeding and Maintenance of Federal Exploratory Units"

Sneak peek preview about our topic:

Approximately 1/3 of the mineral ownership of the U.S. is owned by the federal government.  These interests are managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  While the majority of federal lands are in the western states, there are also federal lands in most of the other states.  Anyone working federal lands knows the importance of complying with BLM rules and regulations.  Accordingly, please join ALTA when John Rothwell, who supervises the U.S. Western land group for ExxonMobil Production Company and currently serves as Assistant Chairman of the Public Lands Committee of AAPL, presents a brief overview on creating and maintaining U.S. on-shore federal exploratory units, including discussion of common pitfalls, advantages & disadvantages to unitization, lease maintenance issues, and formation of participating areas.
