Description

This form is used by an Operator as a formal declaration that the Leases described are combined and pooled, as to the Lands described, to create a pooled unit. Los Angeles California Designation of Pooled Unit for Oil and Gas refers to the legal and regulatory procedures involved in the establishment and management of pooled units for oil and gas extraction within Los Angeles, California. A pooled unit is formed when multiple oil and gas leases are combined to enhance drilling and production operations within a defined geographic area. In Los Angeles, the Designation of Pooled Unit for Oil and Gas serves to optimize resource recovery and minimize operational costs by allowing companies to collectively develop and extract hydrocarbon reserves efficiently. This designation ensures that the production from the pooled unit, including any royalties and revenues generated, is distributed fairly among the participating parties. The Los Angeles County Department of Oil and Gas (Dog) oversees the designation process, ensuring compliance with relevant state and federal regulations. The department reviews and approves pooling applications, considers land use and environmental factors, and establishes terms and conditions for the pooled unit operations. Two main types of pooled units seen in Los Angeles California are: 1. Voluntary Pooled Units: These units are formed with the consent of all participating leaseholders who willingly combine their oil and gas leases to increase operational efficiency and improve resource recovery. Each leaseholder retains ownership rights over their respective designated areas within the pooled unit. 2. Compulsory Pooled Units: In certain cases, compulsory pooling might be necessary when one or more leaseholders do not consent to be part of the pooled unit, but their lands overlap with areas that have already been pooled. The objective of compulsory pooling is to prevent the waste of oil and gas resources by allowing all leaseholders to partake in the production and benefit from the pooled unit's operations, irrespective of individual preferences. By creating pooled units, Los Angeles facilitates the coordination of exploration, drilling, and production activities across multiple leased properties. This approach streamlines decision-making processes and encourages collaboration and resource optimization within the oil and gas industry, benefiting both participating companies and the local economy through increased production efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and fair distribution of royalties and revenues.
