Well Proposals Clause Samples
The Well Proposals clause outlines the process by which one party may propose the drilling, reworking, or deepening of a well within a joint operating agreement. It typically specifies the information that must be included in a proposal, such as the location, objectives, and estimated costs, and sets deadlines for other parties to respond with their election to participate or not. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear, structured method for initiating new well operations and making informed decisions, thereby facilitating coordinated development and reducing disputes over project initiation.
