EKOGA Works to Save You Money
As just one example, EKOGA worked directly with the Kansas Department of Revenue on proper valuation of the smaller equipment used in Eastern Kansas compared to the rest of the state, which saves all lease and drilling rig operators money on personal property taxes.
EKOGA Works to Save You Time
EKOGA worked with the Royalty Owners Associations to negotiate a reasonable surface owner notification bill, which as initially presented would have been a substantial burden on small oil and gas operators.
