Description

If an oil and gas lease has been granted on lands in which there is a surface tenant, it may be necessary or advisable to obtain a subordination of the agreement or lease with the surface tenant, to the oil and gas lease. This form provides for that subordination and directs the manner in which compensation for any damages shall be paid. Washington Surface Tenant's Subordination to an Oil and Gas Lease: A Washington Surface Tenant's Subordination to an Oil and Gas Lease refers to a legal agreement where a tenant agrees to subordinate their rights as the surface owner to the rights of an oil and gas leaseholder. This means that the tenant's surface rights are considered secondary to the rights of the leaseholder to explore, extract, and develop oil and gas resources on the property. This subordination allows the leaseholder to access the property for activities such as drilling, constructing infrastructure, and conducting operations related to oil and gas exploration. The tenant's use of the property may be restricted or regulated to accommodate the leaseholder's activities. The rights and obligations of both parties are specified in the terms of the subordination agreement. The purpose of Washington Surface Tenant's Subordination is to ensure that the leaseholder has unimpeded access to the mineral resources beneath the surface, while simultaneously protecting the rights and interests of the surface tenant. By agreeing to subordination, the surface tenant acknowledges and accepts that their surface use rights may be temporarily disrupted or limited during the lease's term. Different Types of Washington Surface Tenant's Subordination to an Oil and Gas Lease: 1. Full Subordination: In this type of subordination agreement, the surface tenant fully surrenders their primary rights as the surface owner to the leaseholder. This means that the leaseholder has complete control over the surface for oil and gas operations, and the tenant's activities may be significantly restricted or even temporarily halted. 2. Partial Subordination: In a partial subordination agreement, the surface tenant retains some limited rights and freedoms while acknowledging the leaseholder's primary rights to the mineral resources. The specific details of limitations and restrictions are negotiated and outlined in the agreement. 3. Temporary Subordination: This type of subordination agreement is time-limited and applies for a specific period. The tenant agrees to subordination only for the duration of the lease, after which their rights as the surface owner resume. 4. Limited Use Subordination: In limited use subordination, the surface tenant and the leaseholder agree to specific conditions and limitations on the tenant's surface activities. This allows the tenant to continue their operations, such as agriculture or livestock grazing, while accommodating the leaseholder's rights to oil and gas activities.
