Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The rule of capture or law of capture is common law from England, adopted by a number of U.S. jurisdictions, that determines ownership of captured natural resources including groundwater, oil, gas, and game animals. The general rule is that the first person to "capture" such a resource owns that resource. For example, a landowner who extracts or captures groundwater, oil, or gas from a well that bottoms within the subsurface of his land acquires absolute ownership of the substance, even if it is drained from the subsurface of another''s land. A corollary of this rule is that a person who drills for groundwater, oil, or gas may not extract the substance from a well that bottoms within the subsurface estate of another by drilling on a slant.
