Hemingway?s Oil and Gas Law and Taxation, Fourth Edition is the most comprehensive one-volume work on oil and gas law and taxation available today. For over three decades, Professor Richard Hemingway?s prior three editions of this seminal work have provided guidance to courts, lawyers, commentators, and students. Six distinguished scholars, Professors Anderson, Dzienkowski, Lowe, Peroni, Pierce, and Smith, have joined together to co-author the fourth edition of this classic treatise. As a one-volume treatise, this work covers the substantive law of oil and gas and federal income taxation of oil and gas transactions. The first three chapters examine interests and transactions in the mineral estate. The fourth chapter covers surface and subsurface issues. Chapters five through eight examine in detail the oil and gas lease. Chapter nine addresses the issue of transfers by the lessor and the lessee. Chapters ten through twelve are devoted to oil and gas taxation. Students will see that this work gives them quick access to the law of oil and gas and the law of oil and gas taxation. Collectively, the six new authors of this one-volume treatise bring over 100 years of teaching and writing experience in oil and gas law and taxation to their co-authorship of this work.
