Tennessee Paid Up Lease Pooling Provision
Understanding this form
The Paid Up Lease Pooling Provision is a specific type of oil and gas lease agreement, primarily used in Tennessee. In this form, the lessor grants the lessee exclusive rights to explore, drill, and produce oil, gas, and other minerals from a defined piece of land without the obligation to carry out operations during the primary term of the lease. This lease is categorized as "paid up," meaning the lessee pays a one-time fee for the lease rights, simplifying the contractual obligations compared to traditional lease agreements where ongoing payments might be required.
Main sections of this form
- Description of the leased land, including its boundaries and size.
- Term of the lease, detailing the duration and conditions for lease extension.
- Rights granted to the lessee for exploration and production activities.
- Royalty payment structure for the lessor, specifying rates for oil, gas, and sulfur.
- Provisions for pooling or unitizing the lease with adjacent properties.
- Notice requirements and processes for handling ownership changes.
Situations where this form applies
This form is essential when a landowner (lessor) wants to lease their land for oil and gas exploration without the lessee being compelled to undertake immediate drilling operations.

Use this lease if you are entering into an agreement that involves pooling land resources with adjacent properties for potential mineral extraction.
