Oklahoma Gas Processing Rights Agreement, also known as the Oklahoma Gas Royalty Agreement, is a legal contract that outlines the rights and obligations between mineral owners and gas processing companies. This agreement allows gas processing companies to extract, process, and transport natural gas and its byproducts from privately owned mineral rights in the state of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Gas Processing Rights Agreement generally covers aspects such as: 1. Exclusive Rights: It grants the gas processing company exclusive rights to process and transport the natural gas extracted from the specified mineral rights owned by the mineral owner. 2. Term: The agreement specifies the duration for which the gas processing company will have the rights to process the gas. It could be a fixed period, such as 5 or 10 years, or it may be based on the depletion of reserves in the specific mineral rights. 3. Royalty Payments: The agreement outlines the royalty payments the mineral owner will receive for granting the gas processing rights. This is typically a percentage of the revenue generated from the sale of natural gas and its byproducts. 4. Infrastructure and Facilities: The agreement may include provisions for the construction, operation, and maintenance of necessary infrastructure, such as pipelines, compressor stations, and processing plants, on the mineral owner's property or adjacent land. 5. Environmental and Safety Regulations: It stipulates that the gas processing company must comply with all applicable environmental regulations and safety standards during the processing and transportation of natural gas. 6. Reporting and Auditing: The agreement may require the gas processing company to provide regular reports and allow the mineral owner to conduct audits to verify the accuracy of royalty payments. 7. Reclamation and Site Restoration: It may include provisions for the gas processing company to reclaim and restore the land to its original condition once the processing activities in the specified mineral rights have ceased. Different types of Oklahoma Gas Processing Rights Agreement may include variations in terms such as royalty rates, duration, infrastructure requirements, and other specific provisions tailored to the unique circumstances of each agreement. Some agreements may also include additional clauses related to gas storage rights or joint operation agreements between multiple mineral owners.
