Partial Extension Amendment: This type of amendment applies when the lessee is interested in extending the lease's primary term on only a specific portion of the land included in the original agreement. It allows for the continued exploration and development of oil and gas resources on the designated section while maintaining the original lease's terms and conditions for the remaining parts. 2. Time-based Extension Amendment: This type of amendment provides the lessee with an extended period to fulfill their obligations outlined in the original lease agreement. It allows for a specific time frame extension, facilitating exploration, drilling, and extraction activities on the designated part of the leased land. 3. Resource-specific Extension Amendment: In certain cases, oil and gas leases may require an extension of the primary term due to the unique characteristics or potential of specific resources found in certain sections of the leased land. This amendment allows for an extension solely for the exploration and extraction of these specific resources, while the remaining parts of the lease operate under the original terms. 4. Development-dependent Extension Amendment: When unforeseen circumstances or technical challenges arise during development, lessees may seek an amendment to extend the primary term of the lease on certain sections to overcome these obstacles.
