Common use of Cost of Drilling and Completion Clause in Contracts

Cost of Drilling and Completion. The Partnership shall bear its proportionate share of the cost of drilling and completing or drilling and abandoning each Partnership well, where the Managing General Partner serves as operator as follows: 1. The Cost of the Prospect, as defined; and 2. For intangible well Costs: a. For each well completed and placed in production, an amount equal to the depth of the well in feet at its deepest penetration as recorded by the drilling contractor multiplied by the "intangible drilling and completion cost" in the following table, plus the actual extra completion costs for work required by state law in the event an intermediate or third string of surface casing is run; plus the actual cost for directional drilling services, if required, or b. For each well in which the Partnership elects not to complete, an amount equal to the "intangible dry hole cost" in the following table, plus actual additional cost for work required by state law in the event an intermediate or third string of surface casing is run, plus the actual costs for directional drilling services, if required; and 3. The tangible Costs of drilling and completing the Partnership xxxxx and of gathering pipelines necessary to connect the well to the nearest appropriate sales point or delivery point. To the extent that a Partnership acquires less than 100% of a Prospect, its Drilling and Completion Costs of that Prospect will proportionately decrease. Northern West Virginia and Pennsylvania Upper Devonian and Mississippian 2,000' - 5, 000' $60 per foot for first 2,200 feet plus $16 per foot for each additional foot below 2,200 feet $33 per foot for the first 2,200 feet plus $9 per foot for each additional foot below 2, 200 feet Michigan Antrim Shale 800-1,200' $138 per foot for the first 1,000 feet plus $22 per foot for each additional foot below 1,000 feet $60 per foot for the first 1,000 feet plus $12 for each additional foot below 1,000 Wattenberg Field Cretaceous Codell 6,500-7,800' $60 per foot $20 per foot Wattenberg Field Cretaceous J Sandstone 7,000-8,000' $72 per foot $23 per foot Piceance Basin Cretaceous 7,000-10,000' $150 per foot $85 per foot North Dakota Mesaverde Mississippian Through Ordovician Carbonates Uinta 8,000-15,000' $150 per foot $100 per foot Utah Green River Wsatch Mesaverde Xxxxxx 5.000-14,000' $150 per foot $85 per foot Wyoming Mesaverde Xxxxx Xxxxxx 7,000-14,000' $150 per foot $85 per foot * The depth used for determination well charges will be the deepest penetration by the drilling bit. In the event the foregoing rates exceed competitive rates available from other non-affiliated persons in the area engaged in the business of rendering or providing comparable services or equipment, the foregoing rates will adjust to an amount equal to that competitive rate. It is anticipated that the Partnerships, PDC, and other third party joint venturers will share the cost of the Michigan Antrim projects. The Partnerships will be allocated the well cost with the additional project costs for multiple flow lines, saltwater injection well, equipment for the central production facility and Leases allocated to the other joint venture partners through the use of tax partnership. In return for contribution of the well costs to an Antrim project, the Partnerships will acquire 55% Working Interest in the project. Remaining Working Interests will be allocated to the parties bearing the project costs for multiple flowlines, leases, salt water injection well, and equipment for the central production facility. Michigan Antrim project Leases are unitized for the purpose of payment of royalties, distribution of working interest revenue and allocation of project production expenses. Project working interest revenue and project production expenses are allocated to working interest owners based on the number of net xxxxx drilled, completed and placed into production, expressed as a percentage of the total number of xxxxx in a project. To the extent that a Partnership drills and pays for less than the total number of xxxxx in a project, its overal Working Interest in the project will be proportionally reduced. Each Partnership will be responsible only for its obligtions and will be liable only for its proportionate share of the costs of developing and operating the Prospects; and, in the event of the default of another party, the Managing General Partner has agreed to indemnify the Partnership and its Partners for the obligations of such party. If any party fails or is unable to pay its share of expense within 60 days after rendition of a statement therefor by the Managing General Partner, the Managing General Partner will pay the unpaid amount in the proportion that the interest of each such party bears to the interest of all such parties. In the event the foregoing rates exceed competitive rates available from other persons in the area engaged in the business of rendering comparable services or equipment, the foregoing rates will be adjusted to an amount equal to that competitive rate, but not less than the cost of providing such services or equipment.
