Key Takeaways

  • An oil and gas lease grants the operator the right to explore for and produce hydrocarbons in exchange for royalties.
  • Standard royalty rates have ranged from 1/8 (12.5%) historically to 1/4 (25%) in modern leases in active basins.
  • The primary term is the period during which the operator must drill or lose the lease (commonly 3-5 years).
  • Pugh clauses limit which acreage and depths are held by production after the primary term.
  • Post-production cost (PPC) language determines whether processing, gathering, and transportation costs are deducted from royalties.
