Farmout Agreement Providing For Multiple Wells with Dry Hole Earning An Assignment
About this form
A Farmout Agreement Providing for Multiple Wells with Dry Hole Earning an Assignment is a legal document used in the oil and gas industry. This form enables the "farmor" to assign acreage to the "farmee," who in turn agrees to drill wells in exchange for rights to the production. This agreement specifically includes provisions for both productive wells and those that may be plugged and abandoned as dry holes, differentiating it from simpler forms of farmout agreements that may not cover these aspects.
Key parts of this document
- Exhibits detailing general terms, land descriptions, and accounting procedures.
- Specifications for the Initial Earning Well, including location and deadlines.
- Clauses outlining the rights and responsibilities of the farmor and farmee regarding drilling operations.
- Provisions for additional earning wells, should the initial well's conditions permit.
- Reserved overriding royalty interests and conditions for their conversion.
Common use cases
This form is essential when entering into agreements to explore and develop oil and gas resources. You should use this form when a landowner (farmor) wants to allow another party (farmee) access to their property for drilling, in exchange for a portion of the revenues generated from any successful wells. It can also be used in scenarios where the drilling may result in dry holes, thus providing guidelines for both parties on how to proceed in such cases.
