I love this time of year. March Madness, St. Patrick’s Day, Spring Break, The Masters and other glorious events such as the OCAPL Golf and Fishing Tournaments are either occurring or will be occurring in the near future. We know that the coldest months are behind us and warmer weather and days spent outside can begin again. March is a relatively slow month for OCAPL as we move past the beginning of the year hustle and bustle and start preparing for the large events to occur in April and May.

Looking forward, the Golf and Fishing Tournaments and the Field Land Seminar are three of our largest events held each year and we look forward to hosting these events again in the next 60 days. Not to be forgotten, our last Educational Luncheon and Monday Night Meeting until September will take place on April 2nd. Keith Needham is our guest speaker at the April Luncheon and his topic, Production in Paying Quantities, should align well with the discussion that was had at our March Luncheon, Deduction of Post Production Expenses. Our Monday Night Meeting in April will welcome our annual visit from the AAPL President. This year David Miller has the honor of serving as AAPL President and I know his discussion and updates from AAPL

will be engaging for our audience. Please RSVP early and I look forward to seeing everyone at these great events.

Looking back, a huge shout out to Eli Kiefaber and Kate Richard for speaking at our March 5th Luncheon and Monday Night Meeting. I have witnessed Eli, Kiefaber and Oliva LLP, give several educational discussions and they are always valuable and provide good lessons learned. Kate, Warwick Energy Group, spoke to the largest Monday Night Meeting audience that I have seen in many years and she did not let them down. Her discussion around the current macro and micro economic environment of the oil and gas industry was outstanding. The slides from both discussions can be found at OCAPL.org under past events.

As always, please refer to the following pages for the Calendar of Events that details the upcoming events and dates. Thank you to all of our sponsors who help make this organization a great one. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Sincerely,Matt Beavers2018 OCAPL President

Questions from the Field

Timothy C. DowdELIAS BOOKS BROWN & NELSON

Q: After a lease has expired, may it be extended by a later in-strument? In our situation, after the expiration of the primary term, the lessor executed an amendment to the then expired Oil and Gas Lease, providing for a six year primary term instead of the initial three year primary term. Does this extend the Lease? – S.L.

A: It is the general rule of law that the primary term of an Oil and Gas Lease may be changed or extended by a valid agree-ment between the parties. The agreement is, in effect, a new lease or modification of an existing one and must satisfy the same re-quirements for validity. It must be executed with the same formali-ties as the original lease.

There is no material difference between an extension and a renewal of an Oil and Gas Lease. Tibbens v. Clayton, (E.D. Okla.). The lease may be extended by a supplementary agreement between the parties, if supported by valuable consideration. Papoose Oil Co. v. Swindler, (Okla.). Further, even if a lease has expired, it may be ratified and revived by the Lessor. Geodyne Energy Income Production Partnership I-E v. Newton Corp., (Tex.). There is also an

Questions from the FieldTimothy C. Dowd

ELIAS BOOKS BROWN & NELSON

Editor’s Note: Each month this column will be devoted to answering oil and gas title questions.

Q: I examined an Oil and Gas Lease dated July 1, 1984, covering tracts in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I have also examined copies of Oklahoma Corporation Commission Completion Reports (Form 1002) for the Smith 1-1 Well drilled in the SE/4 and the Smith No. 2 Well located in the NE/4 of Section 1.

During the primary term of the lease, two wells were drilled on the lands in Section 1. The first well, which is denoted as the Smith 1-1 Well, was commenced on October 13, 1984 and drilled in the S/2 SE/4 (which is not part of the leased tract). The Smith 1-1 was completed in a formation, which was established as a 160-acre drilling and spacing unit for the SE/4.

A second well, denoted as the Smith No. 2 Well, was drilled in the NE/4 of Section 1 (part of the leased tract) on April 24, 1986, and completed in the Hartshorne formation. The Hartshorne formation has not been established as a drilling and spacing unit for the NE/4 of Section 1.

Does the drilling of the Smith 1-1 Well in a drilling and spacing unit of 160-acres cause the lease to terminate outside the SE/4? What is the impact of the Smith No. 2 Well Well on the extension of the Smith 1-1 lease?

A: Title 52 O.S. 87.1(b) recites: "In case of a spacing unit of one hundred and sixty (160) acres or more, no oil and/or gas leasehold interest outside the spacing unit involved may be held by production from the spacing unit not more than ninety (90) days beyond expiration of the primary term of the lease." (This statute is frequently described as the “Statutory Pugh Clause”).

Unfortunately, there is no case law and only one law review article that construes this statute and its impact on wells drilled. The only guidance is the wording of the statute. In this situation the oil and gas lease would not have been extended solely by virtue of production from the spacing unit and the well drilled in the SE/4, but the lease was

Oklahoma case where the parties have allowed that an agreement extending time for completing the well was valid in Franklin v. Empire Gas & Fuel Co.

Courts would likely hold that your lessor would be estopped from asserting the invalidity of the lease when they executed a supple-mental document reciting that the lease was in full force and effect.

Therefore, even if the underlying lease had expired by its own terms, if the Amendment shows the terms set forth, and the les-sor ratifies the lease using words of grant, then the lease can be extended. An analogy to this issue is that, frequently, a lease may not be valid because of execution defects. However, companies and title exam-iners frequently seek a ratification of the initial Oil and Gas Lease. If one could not revive or ratify a lease that was not in effect, then the action of ratifying the lease would have no effect.

I would advise that where the lessor uses words of grant, the amendment or later instrument should also recite that the prior lease is in full force and effect.

IEA raises global oil demand estimate for 2018HOUSTON, Mar. 1503/15/2018By OGJ editors

Global oil demand is expected to rise 1.5 million b/d to 99.3 million b/d in 2018, according to the International Energy Agency’s most recent Oil Market Report. This represents a 90,000-b/d increase compared with last month’s report.In the March OMR, oil demand of countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has been revised up by 240,000 b/d in 2018, reflecting the impact of recent strong data and lower prices. Recent data show strong demand growth in Poland and Turkey. US demand also has been revised higher, reflecting the impact of low temperatures in January and February on gas oil demand and as lower prices are expected to boost gasoline consumption. Japan’s 2018 oil demand is likely to be stronger than expected in IEA’s previous forecast.By contrast, non-OECD demand has been revised down by 150,000 b/d for 2018. In Asia, small upward revisions in China and India almost offset downward revisions to Pakistan, where fuel oil deliveries fell sharply on new LNG imports. Demand estimates for Russia and the Middle East also were revised down. Revisions in the Middle East reflect the rapid displacement of crude oil for direct-use electric power generation by imported and domestic natural gas production in Iraq.

Regarding economic fundamentals, “world economic growth is expected to accelerate from 3.7% in 2017 to 3.9% in 2018, and this pick-up in growth will be broad-based,” IEA said.

However, “recent signs of protectionism from the US are a risk to the forecast, raising the possibility of a global trade war,” it said.SupplyOn supply, new and revised data shows very little change in the outlook compared with last month, IEA said.IEA retains the view that total production from nonmembers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries rose by 760,000 b/d last year and that it will surge by 1.78 million b/d this year. The US dominates growth, accounting for 1.5 million b/d of the total increase. Gains also will come from Canada, Brazil, and Kazakhstan. This will offset declines elsewhere including in Mexico and China.For February, non-OPEC supply was 58.9 million b/d and stood 810,000 b/d higher than a year ago. OPEC crude oil production edged lower to 32.1 million b/d, led by losses in Venezuela and the UAE.“Further declines in Venezuela raised OPEC’s compliance rate in February to 147%, the highest so far, and lifted the average since the start of the deal to 102%. Compliance by the non-OPEC countries was less impressive at 86%, but still robust,” IEA said.Stocks, rebalancingCommercial oil inventories in OECD nations rose in January for the first time in 7 months by 18 million bbl to 2,871 million bbl, 53 million bbl above their 5-year average.The January increase of 18 million bbl over the December inventory level was roughly half the size of rises normally seen at this time of year, according to the agency.“Market rebalancing is clearly moving ahead with key indicators—supply and demand becoming more closely aligned, OECD stocks falling close to average levels, the forward price curve in backwardation at prices that increasingly appear to be sustainable—pointing in the direction. In our chart, we assume for scenario purposes that OPEC production remains flat for the rest of 2018, and on this basis there will be a very small stock build in the first quarter of 2018 with deficits in the rest of the year. With supply from Venezuela clearly vulnerable to an accelerated decline, without any compensatory change from other producers it is possible that the Latin American country could be the final element that tips the market decisively into deficit,” IEA said.

Projections For Peak Oil Demand Are Overblown, Says Dan SteffensMar. 15, 2018 5:47 AM ET

By FS Staff

(Source: Bloomberg)

While oil prices trade above $60 a barrel, up over 40% from their June 2017

lows, energy stocks have languished. Why the disconnect, and will this

persist?

This time on Financial Sense Newshour, we spoke with Dan Steffens from

Energy Prospectus Group to get his outlook on the energy sector, US shale

production, and concerns over peak oil demand.

US Shale Production Fears Overhyped

With both the EIA and IEA projecting for the US to produce more oil than

Saudi Arabia next year, some are concerned that this will set a cap on oil

prices and hamper gains for energy-producing companies as a whole.

This isn't as big an issue as some fear, Steffens said, because demand for oil

is going up by 1.5 million barrels a day per year, and he expects it to rise

still higher from there.

Also, it's important to keep in mind that shale oil production tends to drop

off precipitously. Horizontal wells will decline at a 30-40 percent rate per

year, Steffens noted.

"I think we're going to see an increase in demand from the first quarter to

the second quarter of about 2 million barrels a day as we come out of the

winter driving season," Steffens said. "I've been watching EIA for a long

time... The math just doesn't work. Sooner or later, you just can't drill

enough new wells to make up for the decline in older wells. I think that's

going to come into play in about a year or so."

Further Catalysts for Energy Stocks

"The global economy's growing," he said. "We're in an economy that is very

dependent on a steady supply of this stuff, and we're below the 5-year

average on days of supply."

There are also price catalysts to consider. While Steffens isn't as worried

about shale keeping a lid on prices, some are concerned about OPEC's

production cutback agreement expiring this year. This isn't really a problem,

however.

First, it would be a bad decision for the cartel to immediately start flooding

the market with increased production. In addition, Steffens doesn't think

they have the excess production capacity. Those countries that can cheat

would cheat, but that's not what we're seeing.

"I think they've learned their lesson," Steffens said. "They were the biggest

losers when the price went way below $40. I honestly think when they

started this, they expected the price to level off at $60 for a while, and they

thought that would be enough to put the fear of God in the shale players.

But it's just kept going, and they've lost."

Are We At Peak Demand?

Some believe renewables and electric cars are going to eat up demand for

oil, and the IEA has projected that sometime next decade, demand is going

to peak.

This fear is also exaggerated, Steffens stated. Demand for electric cars is

limited, as they are still too expensive, and the battery problem needs to be

solved first before electric cars make a big dent in oil demand.

Currently, Steffens sees a lot of great value in energy stocks. The low tax

rates have helped their bottom lines tremendously, and oil above $60 is

supportive, he noted.

Demand for renewables "is going to increase, there's no doubt about it,"

Steffens said. "But the pie just keeps getting bigger... I think we're going to

be very happy we have the technology, because at some point in time, these

shale plays are going to level off just like everything else. The shale is the

source rock. After we pull the oil out of the source rock, there's not a lot

left."
