North Dakota Rental Lease Pooling Provision
About this form
The Rental Lease Pooling Provision is a specialized lease agreement used in North Dakota. It allows the Lessor (property owner) to lease land to a Lessee (exploration company) for oil, gas, and mineral exploration and production. This form includes provisions for pooling, which enables the Lessee to combine interests across multiple land parcels for efficient resource management. This differs from a standard lease by addressing how multiple parcels can be managed together for production purposes.
