Ohio Paid Up Lease Pooling Provision
What is this form?
The Paid Up Lease Pooling Provision is a specific type of oil and gas lease agreement used in Ohio. It allows the Lessor to grant rights to the Lessee to explore and extract oil, gas, and other minerals from specified lands. This form provides pooling provisions, meaning multiple leases can be combined for drilling purposes, and it is categorized as a "paid up" lease, which means no further payments are required once the initial amount is paid. This distinguishes it from other lease agreements that may require ongoing payments or royalties based on production.
