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 Hillsborough Florida 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 contractual arrangement between a surface owner and a gas storage company, granting the company the right to use the subsurface underground space for gas storage purposes. This agreement is specifically for surface owners who do not have the right to utilize the surface of the lands being granted. This type of lease and agreement is crucial for the gas industry, as it allows for the safe and efficient storage of natural gas or other hydrocarbon gases underground. The subsurface storage sites typically consist of depleted oil or gas reservoirs, salt caverns, or aquifer formations that can effectively hold significant amounts of gas. The agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which the gas storage company can access and use the subsurface underground space. It will include details such as the duration of the lease, the specific area of land included, the rights and responsibilities of both parties, environmental regulations and safety considerations, payment terms, and any obligations regarding surface restoration or compensation for surface impacts. It is vital to differentiate between the different types of Hillsborough Florida Subsurface Underground Gas Storage Leases and Agreements, as they can vary based on the specific nature of the subsurface storage sites. Some common types include: 1. Depleted Reservoir Lease: This agreement grants the gas storage company the right to use a depleted oil or gas reservoir for gas storage purposes. Depleted reservoirs are typically chosen for their existing infrastructure and established geological suitability for storage. 2. Salt Cavern Lease: Salt caverns, formed through solution mining of underground salt deposits, have proven to be excellent locations for gas storage due to their impermeable nature. This type of agreement allows the gas storage company to utilize a salt cavern for storing gas. 3. Aquifer Formation Lease: In some cases, underground aquifer formations can provide suitable storage space for gas. This lease agreement permits the gas storage company to access and utilize these formations for gas storage purposes. Regardless of the specific type, all Hillsborough Florida Subsurface Underground Gas Storage Lease and Agreement (From a Surface Owner, With No Right to Use the Surface of the Lands being Granted) must comply with relevant state and federal laws and regulations, ensuring the protection of the environment and the rights of the surface owner.
