Working Interest Clause Samples
The Working Interest clause defines the percentage of ownership and responsibility a party holds in an oil, gas, or mineral lease, specifically relating to the costs and revenues associated with exploration, development, and production operations. This clause typically outlines how expenses for drilling, operating, and maintaining wells are shared among parties, and how profits from production are distributed according to each party's working interest share. By clearly allocating both financial obligations and entitlements, the clause ensures transparency and fairness in joint ventures, preventing disputes over cost-sharing and revenue division.
