Co-author Katherine Sartain* If you are scoring at home, count Permico Royalties LLC v. Barron Properties, Ltd. , as a win for “floating” in the fixed-or-floating royalty battles. Permico, successor to grantors in a 1937 Deed for a tract in Ward County, argued that a mineral reservation was of a ½ floating royalty interest.

We are disappointed that Canada’s Carbon Management Strategy , released by Minister Wilkinson, doubles down on the federal government’s risky approach of over-reliance on speculative and dangerous technologies being promoted primarily by oil and gas companies. This approach jeopardizes any chance Canada has of meeting its climate targets and diverts tens of billions of dollars away from reliable and effective climate solutions.
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity.
