Description

A lease may require the lessor/surface owners consent to a well location, before the well is drilled by a lessee. This form provides for that consent, specifying the exact location where the well will be located. Oakland County, Michigan is a vibrant and populous county located in the southeastern part of the state. As part of the consent process for drilling oil or gas wells within its boundaries, the Lessor (the individual or company that owns the mineral rights) and the Surface Owner (the individual or company that owns the surface rights) must agree to the well location. This agreement is referred to as the "Consent to Well Location by Lessor and Surface Owner" and it outlines the terms and conditions for drilling operations. In Oakland County, there are several types of Consent to Well Location agreements, depending on the specific circumstances and requirements. These include: 1. Standard Consent to Well Location: This is the most common type of agreement used when both the Lessor and Surface Owner are in agreement with the proposed well location. It typically includes clauses related to access rights, compensation, use of surface facilities, and environmental protection. 2. Modified Consent to Well Location: Sometimes, the Lessor and Surface Owner may have certain modifications or restrictions to the standard agreement. For example, the Surface Owner may request limitations on the access to certain areas of the property or additional measures for protecting sensitive environmental features. A modified agreement is negotiated to address these concerns. 3. Conditional Consent to Well Location: In some cases, the Surface Owner may grant consent to well location with certain conditions that need to be met before drilling operations can commence. These conditions could include specific safety measures, environmental mitigation plans, or financial assurances. The Lessor must agree to meet these conditions before drilling can begin. 4. Partial Consent to Well Location: This type of agreement may arise when the Lessor and Surface Owner cannot come to a complete agreement on the proposed well location. The Surface Owner may provide partial consent for drilling operations on a specific part of the property, while denying access to other areas. This agreement defines the boundaries and limitations for the drilling operations. The Consent to Well Location by Lessor and Surface Owner plays a crucial role in ensuring that drilling operations are conducted in a manner that respects the rights of both parties and addresses any concerns related to surface use, environmental impact, and compensation. It is necessary for both the Lessor and Surface Owner to carefully review and negotiate the terms of the agreement to protect their respective interests while promoting responsible resource development.
