Voluntary Pooling/Unitization: In this type of agreement, mineral rights owners willingly agree to consolidate their land into a pooling or unitization agreement. It is usually done to facilitate cost-effective and efficient extraction operations by eliminating the need for multiple wells and infrastructure. 2. Compulsory Pooling/Unitization: In certain cases, when a majority of mineral rights holders within a defined area agree to pool or unitize their lands, they can compel non-consenting owners to participate in the agreement. This type of pooling is authorized by the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Conservation Law. 3. Statutory Pooling/Unitization: This type of pooling is regulated by specific statutes enacted at the state level. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) oversees the implementation of such statutory pooling provisions, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and fair compensation to landowners.
