Virginia Rental Lease Pooling Provision
What is this form?
The Rental Lease Pooling Provision is a specialized legal agreement used primarily in Virginia. This form allows a lessor to lease land to a lessee for activities related to oil and gas exploration and production. Unlike standard rental leases, this document includes provisions for pooling, enabling the lessee to combine their leased land with adjacent properties for more efficient exploration and extraction activities.
Key parts of this document
- Lease description outlining the specific parcel of land and rights being leased.
- Term of lease specifying the duration and conditions for renewal based on production.
- Lease rights granted to the lessee for conducting geological surveys and drilling activities.
- Pooling rights allowing the lessee to combine leased land with nearby properties.
- Rental and royalty payment structures detailing compensation and fees for use of the land.
When to use this form
This form is necessary when a landowner (lessor) wants to lease their land specifically for oil and gas purposes. It should be used when the lessor is also open to the idea of pooling their land with adjacent properties to benefit from shared exploration and production efforts. If there is an intention to extract minerals such as oil, gas, or sulfur, this form provides a clear legal foundation to do so.
