Drilling Requirements
About this form
The Drilling Requirements form is a lease rider that allows property owners (Lessors) to specify conditions related to drilling operations under an Oil and Gas Lease. It is essential for addressing specific concerns and placing limitations on the rights granted to the Lessee. This form ensures that the Lessee adheres to obligations such as timely drilling and maintaining the well's productivity, differentiating it from standard lease agreements which may lack these tailored provisions.
Form components explained
- Obligation for the Lessee to commence drilling operations within a specified timeframe.
- Definition of drilling operations and the required depth to test the formation.
- Automatic termination of the lease if drilling is not completed on time.
- Conditions under which the lease remains valid, including commercial productivity criteria.
- Liability for liquidated damages if drilling requirements are not met.
Common use cases
This form is used during lease transactions when property owners want to establish specific drilling requirements for Lessees. It is particularly beneficial in situations where Lessors have heightened concerns about drilling operations, such as timing, depth testing, or ensuring the potential for a commercially productive well. Using this form helps protect the interests of the property owner while clarifying the responsibilities of the Lessee.
