Oil and Gas at Your Door

2005 Landowner Guide Cover
Oil and Gas at Your Door Cover

Several years ago, OGAP recognized the need to produce a comprehensive guidebook for landowners who are being confronted with oil and gas development.

In 2004, the first edition of Oil and Gas at Your Door? was published. Within 7 months we had distributed more than 1500 copies to landowners, citizens' groups, government employees, ranchers, hunters, anglers, industry representatives, academics, libraries, and media representatives from across the U.S., Canada, and several other countries.

In 2005, we updated the guide, and published our the second edition of Oil and Gas at Your Door?

Order a hard copy of the landowner guide

To receive a copy by mail, call OGAP: 970-259-3353.

Landowner guides are free to OGAP members, and $10 for non-members.

If you already own a copy of the original 2004 landowner guide, the Updates to the 2004 Edition are available in an easily downloadable format. We would prefer that you download these updates rather than order a 2005 guide, as we would like to reserve the new guides for those landowners who do not yet own their own copy.

"Rancher Not Informed about Mineral Leasing" is Jeanie Alderson's story about what it means when the federal government owns the minerals below private land - mainly, that surface owners have little or no input into the leasing process or decisions that will greatly affect their lives and livelihoods.
