Our attorneys represent oil and gas royalty interest owners who may have been improperly compensated by operators and lessors. We also hold big oil and gas companies accountable for unjustly profiting from our clients through contract manipulation and improper deduction policies.
Provost Umphrey’s oil and gas attorneys have extensive knowledge and experience in understanding the highly complex oil and gas litigation sector.

- $8.4 million in settlements for our clients from a Texas operator who improperly calculated and paid royalty owners as a result of sham sales transactions with an affiliate and improper deductions under express lease terms.

Our firm has recently filed two class actions in the state of Oklahoma and is seeking class certification in a lawsuit against an operator that concealed “earnout” payments from miner owner/lessees and failed to pay royalties on such proceeds when received.
