What type of activity does it take to keep a lease from expiring?

Can driving a conductor pipe down hold a lease or does the rig actually have to be spudded in for surface?

It would depend on the wording of your lease.

 

Most leases simply state that operations will hold the lease, so seting conductor pipe would count, somtimes a lease will even allow for location building, drilling water well to count.

 

Other leases will state that a well must be spud prior to the expiration of the primary term.

I would agree with The Baron. I think I would have a good mineral attorney in the back ground advising me. It may be worth it depending on how much acreage is involved and where you are located.

  I would say it would depend on the wording of your lease. Our lease states a rig capable of drilling to the play has to be up over staked site and turning to the right to hold lease .
