• Mineral Interest Pool Act (“MIPA”) Applications

• Working with expert witnesses for RRC Hearings

• Filing and Obtaining Rule 37 spacing exceptions and Rule 38 density exceptions

• Guidance on injection and disposal well applications

• Applications for and interpretation of special field rules

Whether an issue arises before, during, or after operations have commenced, MBB endeavors to provide timely solutions for our clients so they can focus on their business goals. In the ever-evolving landscape of regulatory law, our team stays current on recent proposals and newly enacted regulations and guidelines, enabling us to accurately advise clients on the best courses of action.
