Description

Although there is no standard form of gas and oil lease in use throughout the nation, forms prepared by experienced oil producers are often used. The parties to the lease, however, may insert whatever provisions they deem proper. A Gas and Oil Lease with Pooling Lights and Warranty of Title with Pooling Subject to Pooling Criteria is a contractual agreement between a mineral rights owner and a lessee or oil and gas company. The agreement grants the lessee the right to explore, develop, and produce oil and gas from the property, subject to pooling rights and a warranty of title. The pooling rights allow the lessee to combine multiple tracts of land into one larger pool, or unit, in order to increase production and streamline operations. The warranty of title ensures that the mineral rights' owner has clear title to the leased property and that the lessee is not liable for any pre-existing claims or liens on the property. There are two main types of Gas and Oil Lease with Pooling Lights and Warranty of Title with Pooling Subject to Pooling Criteria: 1. Voluntary Pooling: This type of agreement allows the lessee to combine multiple tracts of land into one unit voluntarily. The lessee must provide the mineral rights' owner with proof that the pooling of tracts will result in a greater production of oil and gas, as well as a higher return on investment. 2. Compulsory Pooling: This type of agreement requires the lessee to combine tracts of land into one unit if the lessee fails to obtain voluntary consent from the mineral rights owners. Compulsory pooling is most often used in areas where oil and gas production is declining and there is limited access to resources. Both types of Gas and Oil Lease with Pooling Lights and Warranty of Title with Pooling Subject to Pooling Criteria provide the mineral rights' owner with compensation in exchange for their consent. Compensation is usually based on the estimated value of the oil and gas produced from the unit and the mineral rights' owner’s share of the profits.
