Designation of Unit
What is this form?
The Designation of Unit form is a legal document used by lease owners to pool, consolidate, and unitize their leases that cover specific lands for oil, gas, and liquid hydrocarbons production. This form facilitates coordinated drilling and production efforts by creating a defined unit from the pooled leases. Unlike individual lease agreements, this designation allows for shared operations and revenue distribution among the lease owners within the designated area.

- Declaration of pooled unit boundaries illustrated in Exhibit B.
- Provisions for production and operations from the unit as a whole.
- Pro rata distribution of resources among separately owned lands.
- Rights for future amendments or adjustments to the unit.
