Talk:Rule of capture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wanted to write a wikipedia article just to see what's involved. The whole of oil and gas law goes almost entirely unmentioned in wikipedia, so expansion is encouraged. I especially invite those from jurisdictions outside the US to add their jurisdictions' related policy, if any exist. LawHog 18:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I realize that the rule of capture applies to water law, and I invite any knowledgeable person to expand upon such. If no person does so, I intend to amend the article to reflect water law issues soon. LawHog 07:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I also suggest that this admittedly esoteric topic be included in a larger wikipedia "US oil and gas law" wikipedia meta-entry. Oil and gas law is distinct from general property law in many ways, and deserves its own section. LawHog 07:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

What about the rule of capture regarding animals? A hunter must either trap or mortally wound a wild animal in order to acquire title to it. Itsmeiam 11:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
