Alaska Assignment of Carried Working Interest is a legal agreement commonly used in the oil and gas industry. It allows an interested party, often an oil and gas company, to assign or transfer their share of the working interest in an Alaskan oil and gas project to another party. The concept of "carried working interest" refers to the situation where one party takes on the financial and operational responsibilities of a project. This means that they fund the costs associated with exploration, drilling, and production activities, while the assigning party retains an economic interest in the project without having to contribute financially. There are a few different types of Alaska Assignment of Carried Working Interest. These include: 1. Full Carried Working Interest: In this arrangement, the assigning party completely transfers their working interest to the assignee. The assignee becomes responsible for all costs associated with the project, including those incurred prior to the assignment. 2. Partial Carried Working Interest: Here, the assigning party transfers a portion of their working interest to the assignee, while still retaining some interest in the project. The assignee is obligated to cover a proportional share of the project costs based on their assigned interest. 3. Carried Working Interest with a Cap: This type of assignment includes a limit or cap on the maximum amount the assignee is required to spend on the project. Once the assigned costs reach the agreed-upon cap, any additional expenses are shared by both parties according to their respective working interests. 4. Carried Working Interest with a Repayment Provision: In such a scenario, the assignee funds the project costs on behalf of the assigning party, but the assigning party agrees to repay these costs over a specified period or through a predetermined mechanism. This repayment provision may include interest or other financial terms. It is important to note that the specific terms and conditions of an Alaska Assignment of Carried Working Interest may vary depending on the negotiations between the parties involved. The agreement typically outlines the responsibilities, obligations, and rights of both the assigning party and the assignee, ensuring transparency and fairness in their collaboration.
