Not necessarily; there can be some grey areas.
Do a Google Search on: “Implied Covenant of Further Exploration”, and “Implied Covenant to…"
Jim Litwinowicz replied to petej's discussion 'HBP in Pennsylvania? - Or Not!'"Short answer, yes. If you own more than one parcel always insist on signing different lease for each one. And/or having a solid Pugh Clause.
But in your case, you stated that the lease for the second parcel was assigned to a different company,…"

Unless you have a pugh clause that states anything not in production after a certain time will be released."

Lease signed by my parents in 1977 listing two parcels of land 1/2 mile apart. Parcel 1 is 82 acres and parcel 2 is 70 acres. In ~1981, parcel 1 was placed in two separate units ( to the exact tenth of an acre ) and drilled. Since then, a total of two shalow wells have been drilled in one of those units and three in the other ( one on my parents property ). Parcel 2 was never touched and has been leased and released from lease since ( by a different co. ). The long and short of it is --- CAN AN…See More

Petej: If you accept me as a friend, I may be able to tell you things that I am not comfortable posting to the site. I wish you the best. I think for the moment the offers are rather poor. Hopefully Jim L. is correct and offers will be better if the exploratory wells turn out to be good. Of course the converse could be true also. I wish y0u the very best. I am not currently leased so am in same boat that you are in!

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale.
