Description

This form is an agreement between parties that own leasehold interests created by oil and gas leases. To facilitate the coordinated acquisition of additional Leases and exploration for and development of oil, gas, and other minerals from lands located in the general area of the Parties Leases, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to create an Area of Mutual Interest (the AMI). The Hawaii Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) Agreement is a legal arrangement that establishes collaboration between two or more parties in exploring and developing potential oil and gas resources in a specified geographic area in the state of Hawaii. This agreement is primarily aimed at ensuring the efficient management and utilization of these resources while promoting equitable sharing of benefits among all participants. The Hawaii AMI Agreement serves as a framework for cooperation among the signatories by defining their rights, responsibilities, and obligations in the selected area. It sets out the rules and procedures for conducting exploration activities, exchanging data, conducting assessments, and making commercial decisions. This agreement is essential to facilitate the streamlined and coordinated exploration efforts within the defined region, reducing redundancy and promoting resource optimization. There are several types of Hawaii AMI Agreements, tailored to the specific needs and interests of the participating parties. These may include: 1. Exploration AMI: This type of agreement focuses on assessing the hydrocarbon potential in the designated area. It allows the signatories to jointly acquire seismic data, conduct drilling operations, and share technical expertise. By pooling their resources, the parties can effectively mitigate exploration risks and increase their chances of making economically viable discoveries. 2. Development AMI: Following successful exploration, the participating parties may enter into a Development AMI Agreement. This agreement outlines the conditions and procedures for the joint development and production of hydrocarbon reserves. It allows the parties to pool their technical, financial, and operational resources to optimize infrastructure development, minimize costs, and ensure efficient utilization of the extracted resources. 3. Production AMI: In the production phase, parties may choose to sign a Production AMI Agreement, which focuses on implementing efficient operational strategies for extraction and processing of hydrocarbons. This agreement defines the responsibilities for production activities, cost allocation, asset maintenance, and revenue sharing among the parties involved. It helps establish a fair and equitable arrangement for all participants to benefit from the ongoing production efforts. Overall, the Hawaii AMI Agreement enables collaboration among industry players and government entities to harness the hydrocarbon potential in a designated geographic area. Through joint efforts and shared resources, these agreements contribute to the sustainable development of Hawaii's oil and gas sector while fostering economic growth and environmental stewardship.
