Description

This is a form of an Amendment to Oil and Gas Lease to Amend the Pooling Provision. The Pennsylvania Amendment to Oil and Gas Lease is a legal document that allows for the modification of the pooling provision within an existing lease agreement for oil and gas exploration and production. Pooling refers to the practice of combining multiple leased tracts of land to form a larger unit, which can be more efficiently managed and developed for oil and gas operations. This amendment is commonly used in the oil and gas industry to consolidate leases and optimize drilling operations. One type of Pennsylvania Amendment to Oil and Gas Lease to Amend Pooling Provision is the "Voluntary Pooling Agreement." This type occurs when all parties involved in the lease voluntarily agree to modify the pooling provisions to maximize drilling efficiency and resource recovery. Another type is the "Compulsory Pooling Agreement," also known as "Forced Pooling" or "Statutory Pooling." In this case, when there are multiple contiguous leased tracts and one or more landowners refuse to participate in the pooling, the operator can apply for compulsory pooling. If approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the operator can force the dissenting landowners to participate in the pooling and share in the production revenues according to their proportionate acreage. The Pennsylvania Amendment to Oil and Gas Lease to Amend Pooling Provision grants the operator the ability to modify the existing pooling agreement, allowing for increased flexibility in the management of drilling operations and the efficient utilization of resources. The amendment typically specifies the updated terms, including the size and configuration of the pooled unit, the allocation of costs and revenues among the participants, and the rights and responsibilities of the involved parties.
