Ideal for readers who have a basic background in real property law, contract law, and tax law, but who are brand new to oil & gas. (Probably less ideal for non-lawyers.) I found this very helpful in preparing for a shift in practice areas.

How to transform "There Will Be Blood" into "There Will Be Lawsuits." A very good comprehensive overview of the complexities of oil & gas law, better than many of the other law in a nutshell books from the same series. You will learn why Daniel Day-Lewis was completely within his rights to drink Paul Dano's milkshake.

This book gives a breakdown of laws and related cases between oil and gas leasees and leasors. This is a must read for any royalty owner who wants to alter leases given by oil companies. It will give examples of items that will come back to haunt you in any litigation.
