Colorado Pooling Agreements & Forced Pooling
Pooling Types and Related Issues
Pooling consolidates leased land with adjoining leased tracts and defines
the allocation of costs and revenues amongst all parties concerned. While
you benefit from combining all landowners' leases into one pool and
using one common underground reservoir, it is vital the pooling agreement
be drawn up correctly to protect you from potential liabilities. Types
of pooled units include voluntary pooled units, forced pooled units, drilling
units, proration units, fieldwide/enhanced recovery units and unique units
detailed in lease agreements. A
