HYDROCARBON EXPLOITATION Clause Samples

The HYDROCARBON EXPLOITATION clause defines the rights and obligations of parties regarding the exploration, extraction, and production of hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas. Typically, this clause outlines the scope of permitted activities, the geographic area covered, and any regulatory or environmental requirements that must be met during operations. Its core function is to establish clear guidelines for how hydrocarbons may be exploited under the agreement, thereby allocating rights and responsibilities and minimizing disputes over resource development.

The maximum duration of the Exploitation Concession shall be twenty-five (25) years. However, one single exceptional extension, not to exceed ten (10) years, may be granted, upon joint application by the Parties if the rational and economic exploitation of the deposit so justifies; ONHYM and PETCO shall jointly apply the procedure to obtain the aforementioned exceptional extension. 5.2 Subject to any assignment in accordance with Article 17, the indivisible Percentage Interest of the Parties in each of the Exploitation Concession(s) shall be: PETCO 75% ONHYM 25% 5.3 Expenses for Development and Exploitation Work in respect of a Hydrocarbons deposit, incurred after the declaration made in accordance with the provisions of the Hydrocarbon Code and the Association Contract that such deposit contains commercially exploitable quantities, shall be funded by the Parties in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. However ONHYM shall not be required to commence the payment of its share of such expenses until the effective date of the relevant Exploitation Concession. 5.4 The Parties, each being the sole owner at the point of production of their respective Percentage Interest shares in the Hydrocarbons produced from the Exploitation Concession(s), shall each have the right to take, dispose of and separately sell their share of Available Crude Oil and Available Natural Gas. 5.5 In the case of Natural Gas, the Parties will use their best endeavors to find domestic and foreign markets for such Natural Gas.
