Clauses<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-1\"><p>Force Majeure \u2013 According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/wex\/force_majeure\">Legal Information Institute<\/a>, Force Majeure is a contract provision that frees parties from obligation to each other if an extraordinary event prevents either party of an Agreement, in this case the Oil and Gas Lease Agreement, from performing.\u00a0 The event must be unforeseeable and unavoidable.<\/p>\n<p>Royalty owners are beginning to receive letters from operators citing force majeure as a reason operators need to stop production on wells.\u00a0 In short, the operator is putting mineral and royalty owners on notice that they should not expect to receive any more royalty checks until the situation improves.<\/p>\n<p>But what is Force Majeure?\u00a0 In most force majeure cases, the operators are telling mineral and royalty owners that they are no longer able to sell their oil.\u00a0 With most of the world in some form of a lockdown or stay at home order, no one driving and no one flying, demand for oil (gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel etc\u2026) has come to a screeching halt.\u00a0 The result is a huge amount of oil flooding a market with a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/the-oil-market-is-running-out-of-storage-options-2020-04-21\">limited amount of room to store it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What normally happens when a barrel of oil is produced from the ground is it is sold at the well by the operator to a purchaser of oil.\u00a0 A purchaser of oil is different than an operator in that the purchaser is solely in the business of buying crude oil.\u00a0 They have nothing to do with drilling for oil or how the oil comes out of the ground.\u00a0 The purchaser is only interested in buying the oil after it leaves the ground.\u00a0 Once a purchaser buys oil from the operator, they will then move the crude oil by either truck or by pipeline to a refinery where the crude oil is then refined into various products like gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel for consumer use.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the global shutdowns and no demand for fuel, the oil storage tanks are getting full and as a result, the purchaser is telling the operator who generates your royalty income, they can no longer buy the oil.\u00a0 They have no more room to hold any more oil.\u00a0 If no one is willing or able to buy the oil from the operator, the operator must stop pulling the oil out of the ground and as a result, no income is generated from the sale of oil and no income can be paid out to royalty owners any longer.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:15px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Cessation of Production Clauses<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Cessation of Production \u2013 We are also seeing letters from operators invoking Cessation of Production clauses.\u00a0 Cessation is defined a temporary or final ceasing of an action.\u00a0 Normally, a Cessation of Production is final in the oil and gas industry.\u00a0 An example would be when an oil and gas well no longer generates enough revenue to cover the costs to operate it.\u00a0 If it costs more to operate the well than the revenue it generates, an operator will no longer produce the well.\u00a0 The operator will then \u201cshut in the well\u201d and the lease will expire, leaving a mineral owner the option to lease the mineral rights again at some point in the future.\u00a0 However, when there is only a temporary cessation of production, the owner may not lease the mineral rights to anyone else.\u00a0 They simply stop receiving income until the operator starts producing the well again.\u00a0 Some common examples of this are when the operator shuts in a well temporarily to rework it in the hopes of generating more oil or gas in the future.\u00a0 The operator may also shut in a well temporarily to fix a problem that is keeping the well from functioning as it should.\u00a0 These improvements or repairs are usually 120 days or less and avoid the termination of the lease.\u00a0 The operator is entitled to a reasonable time to make repairs and get the well going again.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, the Cessation of Production letters going out related to Covid-19 are new territory.\u00a0 In some ways, they are related to the above force majeure clause in that the operator is telling mineral and royalty owners that they need to shut in the wells temporarily, but for reasons outside of their control and for what may be a longer period of time than normal.\u00a0 Shutting in production across the country for a pandemic is a first and for this reason, how Cessation of Production is interpreted by the courts in each state will be something to watch.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, if you receive a letter from an operator invoking either force majeure or another form of Cessation of Production, there are a couple of options:<\/p>\n<p>-You could simply wait it out in the hopes that sooner rather than later, the Covid-19 situation begins to settle, oil demand picks back up and crude oil prices rise significantly.\u00a0 At some point in the future this will happen and when it does you can then expect operators to begin producing again and paying royalty owners again.<\/p>\n<p>-You could provide your lease agreement to an attorney and have them review your rights as it relates to this pandemic.\u00a0 Whether or not the\u00a0Coronavirus excuses performance of an oil and gas lease agreement\u00a0is likely something that has yet to fully be decided, but seeking counsel is always an option a mineral and royalty owner has.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title

style=\"margin:0;\">Selling your Mineral Rights in uncertain times?<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>The current situation with the Coronavirus, lack of global commodity demand, force majeure clauses and letters of Cessation of Production are certainly creating challenges for mineral and royalty owners.\u00a0 As a mineral and royalty owner, you may have received one of these letters and are wondering how long you will be without income.\u00a0 Especially if you rely on that income to make ends meet or have recently lost employment.\u00a0 You may just be tired of having to deal with all this and looking to sell.\u00a0 If selling is your goal, it is critical now more than ever, that you work with a trusted partner.\u00a0 A partner that can connect you with thousands of qualified mineral buyers, work to get you the highest market price available and walk you through the sales and closing process from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>If you are considering selling your
