Minimum Work Program Clause Samples

The Minimum Work Program clause sets out the specific activities or tasks that a party, typically in an oil, gas, or mining agreement, is obligated to complete within a defined period. This may include requirements such as conducting seismic surveys, drilling a certain number of wells, or investing a minimum amount in exploration or development. By clearly outlining these obligations, the clause ensures that the project progresses as intended and prevents parties from holding rights without making meaningful progress, thereby protecting the interests of the resource owner or regulator.
