Oil & Gas
Steamboat Lawyers Group, PLLC focuses on the natural resource practice area which involves the protection, use and regulation of land, mineral rights, water, wildlife and other naturally occurring resources. Recent years have seen investment in new exploration and production projects as well as new technologies. Meanwhile, the public desires a move from an oil-driven economy to a new gas-driven economy, which is a result of environmental factors and developing technologies in the oil and gas industry. Currently, the leading natural resource minerals in Colorado consist of petroleum, coal, molybdenum, natural gas, sand and gravel, and uranium.
The attorneys at Steamboat Lawyers Group, PLLC provide representation for landowners and developers in all matters involving oil and gas law in Colorado. We help individuals and companies throughout Colorado, and specifically Moffat, Routt, Grand, Eagle, and other surrounding counties, achieve maximum value for their interests.
