Title Examination Standards
Chapter 1, App.
Chapter 23. Judgment Liens, Execution and Attachment
§23.6. Money Judgments Filed Against an Oil and Gas Leasehold Interest.

The interest vested in the owner of an oil and gas leasehold estate is not "real estate" within the meaning of 12 O.S. § 706; therefore, a money judgment filed in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the oil and gas leasehold is located does not create a lien on said oil and gas leasehold.
