Formation Testing Clause Samples

The Formation Testing clause outlines the procedures and requirements for testing geological formations, typically in the context of oil and gas exploration or extraction. It specifies how and when such tests should be conducted, who is responsible for carrying them out, and what standards or methods must be followed. For example, it may require the operator to notify the other party before testing or to share test results. The core function of this clause is to ensure that formation testing is performed in a controlled, transparent manner, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring that all parties have access to critical subsurface information.
