A comprehensive legal research project was proposed to examine the complex legal-regulatory framework within which any development of these geopressured resources would have to occur. As a first step in the proposed research, legal issues affecting ownership of the geopressured resources were examined. The results of that examination are reported as a possible aid in early resolution of a threshold issue for orderly resource development: ownership of the resource and ways of establishing ownership. Topics covered are: statutory resource definition, judicial theories of ownership, an analysis of ownership issues for Texas resources, and royalty considerations. (MHR)
