Gas Processing Rights Agreement

The Gas Processing Rights Agreement is a legal document that establishes the terms under which a gas owner grants processing rights to a gas processor for specific volumes of gas. This agreement details the mutual obligations of both parties, including gas delivery, processing, and redelivery. It differs from other agreements in that it specifically focuses on the processing rights and obligations related to natural gas rather than ownership or lease agreements.
