PROCESSED GAS Clause Samples
The "Processed Gas" clause defines what constitutes processed gas within the context of the agreement, typically referring to natural gas that has undergone treatment to remove impurities and separate valuable components. In practice, this clause outlines the specifications that the gas must meet after processing, such as quality standards, composition, and delivery conditions, ensuring that the gas is suitable for commercial use or further distribution. Its core function is to establish clear criteria for the product being delivered or sold, thereby preventing disputes over quality and ensuring both parties have a mutual understanding of the contractual obligations regarding the gas.
PROCESSED GAS. Royalty on any gas processed in a gasoline plant or other plant for the recovery of gasoline or other liquid hydrocarbons shall be part of the residue gas and the liquid hydrocarbons extracted or the market value thereof, at the option of the owner of the soil or the Commissioner of the General Land Office. All royalties due herein shall be based on one hundred percent (100%) of the total plant production of residue gas attributable to gas produced from this lease, and on fifty percent (50%), or that percent accruing to Lessee, whichever is the greater, of the total plant production of liquid hydrocarbons attributable to the gas produced from this lease; provided that if liquid hydrocarbons are recovered from gas processed in a plant in which Lessee (or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate) owns an interest, then the percentage applicable to liquid hydrocarbons shall be fifty percent (50%) or the highest percent accruing to a third party processing gas through such plant under a processing agreement negotiated at arm’s length (or if there is no such third party, the highest percent then being specified in processing agreements or contracts in the industry), whichever is the greater. The respective royalties on residue gas and on liquid hydrocarbons shall be determined by 1) the highest market price paid or offered for any gas (or liquid hydrocarbons) of comparable quality in the general area, or 2) the gross price paid or offered for such residue gas (or the weighted average gross selling price for the respective grades of liquid hydrocarbons), whichever is the greater. In no event, however, shall the royalties payable under this paragraph be less than the royalties which would have been due had the gas not been processed.
PROCESSED GAS. All Processed Gas shall conform to the following specifications at the Delivery Point for Processed Gas:
PROCESSED GAS. Royalty on any gas processed in a gasoline plant or other plant for the recovery of gasoline or other liquid hydrocarbons shall be TWENTY PERCENT part of the residue gas and the liquid hydrocarbons extracted or the market value thereof, at the option of the owner of the soil. All royalties due herein shall be based on one hundred percent (100%) of the total plant production of residue gas attributable to gas produced from this lease, and on fifty percent (50%), or that percent accruing to Lessee, whichever is greater, of the total plant production of liquid hydrocarbons attributable to the gas produced from this lease; provided that if liquid hydrocarbons are recovered from gas processed in a plant in which Lessee (or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate) owns an interest, then the percentage applicable to liquid hydrocarbons shall be fifty percent (50%) or the highest percent accruing to a third party processing gas through such plant under a processing agreement negotiated at arm's length (or if there is no such third party, the highest percent then being specified in processing agreements or contracts in the industry), whichever is greater. The respective royalties on residue gas and on liquid hydrocarbons shall be determined by 1) the highest market price paid or offered for any gas (or liquid hydrocarbons) of comparable quality in the general area, or 2) the gross price paid or offered for such residue gas (or the weighted average gross selling price for the respective grades of liquid hydrocarbons, F.O.B. at the plant in which said gas is processed), whichever is greater.
PROCESSED GAS. As a royalty on any Processed Gas, Lessee agrees to pay a monetary royalty of percent ( %) of the value of the Residue Gas and the NGLs extracted, unless the Commissioner or the owner of the soil, at the option of either, elects to receive its royalty in kind pursuant to section 4(l). The value of the Gross Production shall be calculated at the point the Residue Gas and/or the NGLs, respectively, are Ready for Sale and Use. All royalties due herein shall be on 100% of the volume of the Gas produced from the Leased Premises (calculated on a Dry Gas basis as to both volume and energy content, as described in the section 30 definitions below) as measured or attributed at the inlet of the Processing Plant. The royalty due from Lessee hereunder shall be based on the greater value of:
(1) the sum of the values of (A) 100% of the Residue Gas MMBtus attributable to the Gas determined at the plant recovery efficiency applicable to each NGL component, plus (B) the net value of the NGLs after deduction of all applicable Gas processing fees and/or the value of the NGLs at the applicable liquids percent of proceeds accruing to the Processing Plant; or
(2) the sum of the values of (A) 100% of the available Residue Gas MMBtus attributable to the Gas, plus (B) the value of the NGLs at the applicable minimum liquids POP%, established herein in section 4(d), without deduction or reduction in the value of the NGLs by a percent of proceeds or any other fees or adjustments of any type, form, or character; or
(3) the “keep whole” value of the Gas as described in section (4)(f). For purposes of calculating the royalty due hereunder, the respective values of the Residue Gas and the NGLs shall be based on the greater of:
(1) the highest market price paid or offered in the general area for (A) any Pipeline-Quality Residue Gas, and (B) NGLs, as either Raw Mix or merchantable and marketable commercial grades and/or blends of each of the individual components, after fractionation, of comparable quality in the general area, or
(2) the (A) gross price paid or offered to Lessee for such Pipeline-Quality Residue Gas, and (B) weighted monthly average gross selling price for the respective grades of NGLs, as either Raw Mix or merchantable and marketable commercial grades and/or blends of each of the individual components, after fractionation.
