Description

This form is used for legal description and well or unit information. Oregon Legal Description is a specific format used to accurately describe the boundaries and location of a piece of land or property in the state of Oregon. It is essential for various legal purposes such as property transactions, boundary disputes, and land development. This legal description includes a detailed depiction of the property's boundaries, starting from a reference point known as the point of beginning (POB) and proceeding in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. It encompasses relevant information such as latitude and longitude coordinates, landmarks, natural features, and official survey markers. In Oregon, there are several types of legal descriptions depending on the nature and size of the property. The most common type is the metes and bounds description. This method relies on a series of measured distances and angles, often utilizing calling instructions, to define the boundaries. Another type is the subdivision plat description, which applies to properties within a formally recorded subdivision. It refers to lot numbers, block numbers, and other identifying information from the subdivision plat. Well or unit information, on the other hand, pertains to the details related to the drilling and operation of wells on a specific property or within a designated unit. In Oregon, wells are typically regulated by the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWED). This information includes the well's location, depth, diameter, construction method, and production data. Additionally, the naming and numbering convention used by OWED for well identification should be provided. Unit information becomes relevant when multiple properties or wells are grouped together to optimize resource extraction, commonly known as an unitization or pooling agreement. This agreement allows operators to collectively develop a specific oil, gas, or water resource within a designated area. Unit information may include the description of the unit boundaries, participating tracts or leases, allocation formulas, and production sharing arrangements. In conclusion, Oregon Legal Description and Well or Unit Information are critical components for property and resource management in the state. They ensure accurate identification, ownership, and utilization of land and resources. Different types of legal descriptions include metes and bounds descriptions and subdivision plat descriptions. Well or unit information encompasses details of wells, such as location and production data, while unit information expands to the collective development of multiple properties or wells under an unitization agreement.
