The State Land Board revised the oil and gas lease in April 2018 - here are some highlights of some of the changes to the oil and gas lease:

  1. Addition of Paragraph 4(d) "Land Board Policies, Directives and Schedules": Lessee's responsibility to be aware of and comply with all published Board Policies
  2. Addition of Paragraph 4(e)(vii) "Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)": Lessor's right to use UAS (otherwise known as drones) to inspect property
  3. Updated "Natural Gas Liquids", "Shut-in", and "Temporarily Abandoned" definitions
  4. Elimination of the six-months' royalty-free flaring provision
  5. Reduction of overriding royalty allowance to 3%
  6. Clarification regarding the requirement to obtain a Communitization Agreement to pool state trust minerals
  7. Revision of Shut-in Wells Paragraph: shut-in is permitted for lack of market only, limits shut-in period to two (2) years, requires payment of shut-in royalty within 90 days of shutting-in a lease, and clarifies plugging and abandonment of a well will end shut-in period
  8. Inclusion of a new "Temporarily Abandoned Wells and Mechanical Delays" paragraph permitting 60 days to repair a well with extensions to be granted by Staff
  9. Insurance requirement update
