A producing well maintains the lease however the specifics of the lease could release some depths not being produced if there is a vertical Pugh clause.  We often use the acronym, HBP, which stands for Held By Production.  The leases associated with the producing well you mention would be HBP.

Thanks Skip,

    Just to clarify-if land has a producing well, the minerals rights on that land will not be re-leased because they are HBP?

 

   

 

 

Without a vertical pugh clause, yes.

Thanks for the info.

   Our lease does Have a Pugh Clause. Also, a portion of our acreage is in a section with producing wells and a portion of our lease is outside of that producing section.  I'm assuming the oil company will release the percentage that's not drawing royalties.

Don't assume that the lessee will record a release of the depths or surface acreage not HBP.  You need to send a certified letter noticing the lessee that the primary term of the lease has expired and the terms governing release of development rights is now in force.  There are two types of lease clauses generally called Pugh.  One is a horizontal Pugh which releases the mineral rights of surface acres not included in a producing unit.  The other is a vertical Pugh which releases certain defined depths under acreage that is HBP.

What's the news on the Lawson well

John Wesley,

To my knowledge they have moved or are in the process of moving the rig. to the Pintard site just north of Centreville.

Fracking will be done on the Lawson as soon as it can be scheduled, I'm sure.

Results will likely be known within about10 days after they finish fracking.

Trinidad Drilling Rig #124 reports 56 days drilling ahead, 2/7/14.

They moved late last week to the Pintard in Wilkinson County.
