Tulsa-based Unit Corp. is in a legal battle with an American Indian tribe in Washington state that has claimed sovereignty over an oil and gas lease in Beaver County.
The Kikiallus Nation in January presented Unit with documents from its tribal court threatening to invalidate the company's lease and transfer Unit's right as operator to tribal affiliate TMI Ministries, according to documents filed with the Western District Court of Oklahoma.
Unit has denied the tribe's claims and asked the district court to intervene.
Our arguments are several, Unit General Counsel Mark Schell told The Oklahoman. The lease never expired. We continue to own it. We have no idea how they claim to own it. We don't know who they are. It is not a recognized tribe. It is not a recognized tribal court. It has no jurisdiction over anything in Oklahoma.
Phone calls and emails to the Kikiallus Nation and TMI Ministries were not returned.
The Kikiallus Nation is listed with the Washington State Office of Indian Affairs as a non-federally recognized Indian tribe. Kikiallus is affiliated with the Stillaguamish and Swinomish tribes, which are both federally recognized.
TMI Ministries is listed as a nondenominational religious organization based in Olympia, Wash. Kurt Weinreich is listed as executive director. The organization has the same phone number as Kurt's Amazing Roof and Gutter Cleaning, which has a different Olympia address.

Unit Corp. sues over oil lease in Oklahoma
A crew cleaning up a gasoline spill that occurred last November is now into a new phase of the project.
Last week the crew began removing asphalt and concrete curbing on the west side of Saguaro Boulevard between Trevino Drive and a point north of Rough Court.
Town Engineering Inspector Justin Weldy said they are removing 24 to 30 inches of soil that was under the asphalt and testing it for contamination.
In some areas where they find heavier concentrations they will dig deeper.
The gasoline spilled from a ruptured tanker truck in the drive between Circle K and McDonalds on Nov. 17, 2013. About 2,300 gallons of fuel spilled and ran along the gutter to a drainage culvert north of Monterey Drive.
The culvert and a wash on the other side of Saguaro have been restored.
The asphalt absorbed enough gasoline that when the crew attempted to use a milling machine to remove it the equipment ignited a couple of small explosions, according to Weldy.
Depending on the contamination level the work may last up to another six to eight weeks.
The soil will need to be replaced along with the curbing and asphalt.

Those of you following the tech space probably know that Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) announced last week that it's acquiring Nest Labs, a maker of popular "smart thermostats" and "smart smoke/carbon monoxide detectors," which users can control via a wireless device, such as a smartphone or tablet. This $3.2 billion all-cash deal is the second-largest acquisition in Google's history, behind only its $12.5 billion Motorola buyout.
This acquisition means iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT) investors now need to consider Google a potential competitor.
Google's now in the "smart house" market I recently wrote, "Google's Nest acquisition appears to be an initial step ... in the battle to win the "smart house," in an article which focused on Google's threat to Honeywell, a leader in the building automation space. This is one battle on Google's march toward its apparent goal of being a major player in the "Internet of Things," where autos, machines, people, and everyday objects will be seamlessly connected, providing users with instant feedback. (The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2014 is a play on this ultimate growth market. Click here if you'd like an instant free report on this under-the-radar company.)
Anything one can currently control wirelessly -- or potentially could control wirelessly -- in the home is now fair game for Google. This certainly includes automated cleaning devices -- and iRobot is the leader in this space. iRobot's bread-and-butter is the consumer robotics space -- which makes vacuuming, floor scrubbing and mopping, gutter cleaning, and pool cleaning bots -- as its home segment accounted for 88.5% of its $61.1 million in revenue generated through the first nine months of 2013. (The company is slated to announce fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 results on Feb. 5.)
In an article on iRobot's 2013 results and what investors should focus on in 2014 that I published before Google's Nest buyout, I wrote: "[M]y main concern is the company's (iRobot's) moat, as it needs to remain high enough to keep competitors at bay. ... Investors need to monitor the competitive landscape, which is heating up in the robotics space." My concern about iRobot's moat has been upped now that Google has entered the smart house space, and could potentially enter iRobot's domain.
iRobot's defense and security business accounted for 9.3% of revenue, while the remaining 2.3% came from miscellaneous other. The company is in the early stages of developing its remote presence and videoconferencing assistance bots, which are primarily targeted to the health-care industry. This business isn't expected to contribute meaningfully to revenue until 2015.
Google publicly stated after capping off its buying spree of eight robotics companies last year with its acquisition of Boston Dynamics that it won't be involved in the military space, as Boston Dynamics has been. So iRobot's defense business appears safe from competition from Google. This positive, however, is muted by the fact that this business has been struggling and experienced a 39% drop in revenue in the first nine months of 2013. iRobot's nascent enterprise business also seems safe, as Google's a consumer-focused company, and seems likely to remain so. (It seems likely Google's planning on using robots in its home delivery service; however, I consider this a consumer-focused business.)
What's next in Google's battle to win the house -- and "smart" it up? Certainly, iRobot investors need to ratchet up their monitoring of the competitive landscape now that Google has entered the home automation space. However, I think iRobot is safe -- at least for now.It seems to me that other home products, such as smart lighting, would be a much better next step for Google than cleaning robots.
First, there's more synergy between Nest's current products and smart lighting. The value proposition of saving energy costs via using Nest's Learning Thermostat, the company's best-selling flagship product introduced in 2011, could be extended to include using smart lighting. Additionally, lighting has the safety factor in common with Nest Protection, the smart smoke/carbon monoxide detector, launched last year.
Second, it seems more relevant information can be collected via people's lighting habits than their cleaning habits. Given Google's amazingly innovative when it comes to technology, it can be easy to forget that Google's core business is advertising. The better quality data Google collects on users, the more valuable is its primary product. Smart lighting offers immense data collection possibilities: bedtime and other sleep habits, hobbies and leisure activities (surely, a smart lighting product would include choices of various lighting tones and intensities, such as "read" or "chill out"), and even favorite colors, since smart lighting usually has the ability to change colors.
