This lease rider form may be used when you are involved in a lease transaction, and have made the decision to utilize the form of Oil and Gas Lease presented to you by the Lessee, and you want to include additional provisions to that Lease form to address specific concerns you may have, or place limitations on the rights granted the Lessee in the “standard” lease form.
Oregon Reentry of Wells refers to the process of returning to, or reentering, previously drilled oil and gas wells in the state of Oregon. This procedure involves the inspection, evaluation, and potential reactivation of wells that have been temporarily abandoned or shut-in due to various reasons such as market conditions, technical limitations, or regulatory requirements. During the Oregon Reentry of Wells process, industry professionals assess the safety, integrity, and economic viability of the wells to determine if it is feasible to resume production or conduct further exploration. This includes inspecting the well bore, casing, cementing, and other components for any signs of deterioration or potential risks. The ultimate goal is to effectively and responsibly bring these wells back online to contribute to the state's energy production and resource development. Different types of Oregon Reentry of Wells can be categorized based on the specific purpose or objective of the reentry, including: 1. Production Reentry: Involves reopening and reconnecting wells to resume commercial production of oil and gas. This type of reentry focuses on optimizing existing resources and extracting hydrocarbons trapped in underground geological formations. 2. Enhanced Recovery Reentry: Aims to revitalize older, underperforming wells by implementing techniques that enhance oil and gas recovery. This may include the injection of water, chemicals, or gases into the reservoir to maintain reservoir pressure or stimulate additional production. 3. Well bore Evaluation Reentry: Concentrates on acquiring essential geological and engineering data to better understand the reservoir properties, potential reserves, and evaluate the feasibility of future development plans. Various logging and testing tools are deployed to evaluate the formation, fluid properties, and rock permeability. 4. Plug and Abandonment Evaluation Reentry: Addresses wells that were temporarily abandoned or shut-in with the intention of permanently plugging and abandoning them. The primary purpose of this reentry is to assess the well's integrity, determine the appropriate plugging methods, and comply with regulatory requirements to mitigate potential environmental risks. It is important to note that Oregon Reentry of Wells follows strict industry practices and regulatory guidelines to ensure the protection of the environment, public safety, and the optimal utilization of energy resources. These reentry activities are typically conducted under permits and supervision from relevant state agencies such as the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries.
