Description

It is not uncommon to encounter a situation where a mineral owner owns all the mineral estate in a tract of land, but the royalty interest in that tract has been divided and conveyed to a number of parties; i.e., the royalty ownership is not common in the entire tract. If a lease is granted by the mineral owner on the entire tract, and the lessee intends to develop the entire tract as a producing unit, the royalty owners may desire to enter into an agreement providing for all royalty owners in the tract in production royalty, regardless of where the well is actually located on the tract. This form of agreement accomplishes this objective.

Idaho Commingling and Entirety Agreement By Royalty Owners is a legal agreement that addresses the situation where the ownership of royalties in lands subject to a lease varies. This agreement is significant in the oil and gas industry, where multiple royalty owners may have rights to the same leased property, creating a need for clear guidelines on how to manage and distribute the royalties. In this agreement, all royalty owners with interests in the lands subject to lease come together to establish a framework to facilitate the fair and equitable commingling of their respective royalty interests. The purpose is to streamline the distribution and payment of royalties from the lease proceeds. The agreement defines the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of each party involved, ensuring a smooth functioning of royalty operations.
