FAQ
?Many land professionals are confused about what is a vertical and what is a horizontal pugh clause. LEGALLY ? a vertical pugh clause is one where all acreage outside of the well/unit boundaries must be released. LEGALLY ? a horizontal pugh clause is one where you must release acreage below a certain depth.
A phrase (usually contained in a Pugh clause in an oil & gas lease) that terminates the lease after the primary term as to all formations below a particular depth typically defined as the stratigraphic equivalent of the base of the deepest producing formation in the unit.
A Vertical Pugh Clause requires the Operator to release the rights below a defined vertical depth after the primary term of your lease expires. For example, all rights 100 feet below the deepest drilled depth or 100 feet below the deepest formation penetrated.
Returning to our example, a properly drafted Horizontal Pugh Clause would not only terminate the lease as to the 180 non-pooled acres but also as to all horizons and strata below the deepest depth drilled, i.e., 7800 feet. In other words, the entire lease would terminate as to all horizons and strata below 7800 feet.
A Pugh Clause is enforced to ensure that a lessee can be prevented from declaring all lands under an oil and gas lease as being held by production. This remains true even when production only takes place on a fraction of the property.
The Pugh Clause limits the rights of the lessee to hold only particular depths or amounts of leased property in a pooled unit after the expiration of the primary term. In Texas, production from any portion of a leased tract is deemed production from the entire tract.
The point of a retained-acreage provision is to be able to seek a new opportunity to lease unworked land to a different lessee, one who might do something productive with it. A Pugh clause is a negotiated provision in favor of the lessor. Pugh clauses modify pooling/unitization rights.
