FAQ
As noted above, while pooling focuses on efficiently combining lands for the purpose of obtaining a drilling permit to drill a single well, unitization focuses on the combination of interests covering a larger area to facilitate development of all or part of a common source of supply (i.e. a field/reservoir).
Once a Pooling Order is entered, you will receive a copy of the Order, which will state your options as an owner of an interest in the unit. Typically, the Order will afford you a number of options of a cash bonus and royalty payments on production based on the fair market value of your interest.
Pooling Clause: Joining the Leased Land with Other Land The area formed is called a pool or sometimes a pooled unit. Pooling permits the lessee to prevent waste by avoiding unnecessary drilling and to protect the correlative rights of the mineral owners in the common reservoir.
Forced Pooling (sometimes called Statutory or Compulsory Pooling) is a legal mechanism that allows oil and gas operators to drill wells when they are unable to get 100% of the mineral interests to commit to support the drilling of a well.
It also records a "Declaration of Pooling" or similarly named document in the land records office at the local Courthouse. The declaration shows the boundaries of the pooling unit and identifies all the landowners and amount of property each landowner actually has in the unit.
If a lease is a "paid-up" lease, then the lease will remain in effect during the entire primary term with no further payments to the Lessor unless and until actual production of oil or gas is established.
