Natural Gas Lease Forms and Addendum
Presented for informational and educational purposes only.
Consult with an attorney familiar with gas law before signing any lease.

OVERVIEW
Understanding what is in a natural gas lease and WHAT IS NOT in the lease is of great
importance to any land owner considering leasing land for gas exploration and
production. The lease is a registered legal document and you will be bound by the terms
set forth in that document and any addendum attached with it.
Most, if not all, standard leases presented by landmen representing a broker or drilling
company will heavily favor the company. It is YOUR responsibility to identify the issues
that are most beneficial to your circumstances and NEGOTIATE the terms that are also
in your best interest. The end result is a win/win situation for both you and the company.
We do not here even begin to attempt to cover all of the parts of leases and addenda but
some items that have been commonly found to be of importance of landowners who have
been through the experience of leasing land for natural gas exploration and production. It
cannot be stressed enough to seek qualified legal guidance before signing any gas lease.
