The Positive and Negative Impacts of Texas Drilling
Many property owners have benefited from oil drilling in our state, mainly because natural gas companies will pay people to extract the fuel source from their land. One downside is that mineral lease disputes can arise if several neighbors contend that the oil or gas is under their property.
Additionally, the nuisance from the loud noise and bright lights from drilling rigs and processing plants can dramatically affect the use, enjoyment, and value of surrounding residential property. AC knows first-hand how severe of an impact these drilling operations can have on residents.
In one Parker County lawsuit, our attorneys represented 27 homeowners who claimed that a nearby gas processing plant caused the loss of property value to their land, as well as losses to their personal use and enjoyment of it.
