FAQ
Unit Agreement means any agreement for the development or operation of all or any portion of the Leased Lands with other lands as a single unit without regard to separate ownership and for the allocation of costs and benefits on a basis as defined in such agreement.
Pooling is the combination of all or portions of multiple oil and gas leases to form a unit for the drilling of a single oil and/or gas well.The oil and gas company can lease these under separate leases and separate terms and then pool these parcels to drill the well.
Oil and gas lease is an agreement between a mineral owner (lessor) and a company (lessee) in which the owner grants the company the right to explore, drill and produce oil, gas, and other minerals below the surface of the earth.
As noted above, while pooling focuses on efficiently combining lands for the purpose of obtaining a drilling permit to drill a single well, unitization focuses on the combination of interests covering a larger area to facilitate development of all or part of a common source of supply (i.e. a field/reservoir).
Unitization is the agreement to jointly operate an entire producing reservoir or a prospectively productive area of oil and/or gas. The entire unit area is operated as a single entity, without regard to lease boundaries, and allows for the maximum recovery of production from the reservoir.
It also records a "Declaration of Pooling" or similarly named document in the land records office at the local Courthouse. The declaration shows the boundaries of the pooling unit and identifies all the landowners and amount of property each landowner actually has in the unit.
A Pugh Clause is meant to prevent a lessee from declaring all lands under an oil and gas lease as being held by production, even if production only occurs on a fraction of the property.
