Description

This form is a subsurface underground storage lease and agreement from a surface owner with no rights to use the surface of the lands being granted. A Tennessee Subsurface Underground Gas Storage Lease and Agreement (From a Surface Owner, With No Right to Use the Surface of the Lands being Granted) is a legal contract that governs the utilization and management of underground gas storage facilities located beneath privately owned surface lands in the state of Tennessee. This type of lease and agreement is specifically designed for surface owners who do not hold the right to use the surface of their lands for gas storage purposes. It allows entities or companies involved in the gas storage industry to access and utilize the subsurface areas beneath the surface owner's lands for the purpose of storing and extracting natural gas. The agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of the surface owner and the gas storage operator, ensuring that both parties are fully aware of their obligations regarding the use of the subsurface underground gas storage facilities. It typically includes detailed provisions regarding the duration of the lease, the scope of the gas storage rights, and any considerations or compensations offered to the surface owner. The Tennessee Subsurface Underground Gas Storage Lease and Agreement may cover various types of gas storage leases, such as: 1. Depleted Reservoir Storage Lease: This type of lease allows the gas storage operator to utilize depleted oil or gas reservoirs, which have already been emptied of their original reserves, for underground gas storage. 2. Salt Cavern Storage Lease: In this kind of lease, the gas storage operator has the right to use naturally occurring salt caverns for storing compressed natural gas or other types of gases. Salt caverns are ideal for gas storage due to their high pressure and impermeable characteristics. 3. Aquifer Storage Lease: This lease grants permission to the gas storage operator to store natural gas or other gases in underground aquifers or porous rock formations. Aquifers are commonly used for gas storage when other suitable geological formations are not available. The Tennessee Subsurface Underground Gas Storage Lease and Agreement provides a legal framework that safeguards the rights of both the surface owner and the gas storage operator, ensuring a fair and equitable utilization of the subsurface underground gas storage facilities. It is crucial for all parties involved to fully comprehend the terms and conditions laid out in this agreement to avoid any conflicts or misunderstandings in the future.
