Sidetracking Clause Samples

The Sidetracking clause is designed to address situations where a party deviates from the agreed-upon route or process, typically in the context of transportation or logistics contracts. It outlines the conditions under which sidetracking—such as diverting a shipment to an alternate location or making unscheduled stops—is permitted, and may specify notification requirements, liability for additional costs, or limitations on such actions. This clause serves to manage risks and responsibilities associated with unplanned deviations, ensuring that both parties are aware of their obligations and that disruptions are minimized.
Sidetracking. Any party having the right to participate in a proposed Sidetracking operation that does not own an interest in the affected wellbore at the time of the notice shall, upon electing to participate, tender to the wellbore owners its proportionate share (equal to its interest in the Sidetracking operation) of the value of that portion of the existing wellbore to be utilized as follows: (a) If the proposal is for Sidetracking an existing dry hole, reimbursement shall be on the basis of the actual costs incurred in the initial drilling of the well down to the depth at which the Sidetracking operation is initiated. (b) If the proposal is for Sidetracking a well which has previously produced, reimbursement shall be on the basis of such party’s proportionate share of drilling and equipping costs incurred in the initial drilling of the well down to the depth at which the Sidetracking operation is conducted, calculated in the manner described in Article VI.B.4(b) above. Such party’s proportionate share of the cost of the well’s salvable materials and equipment down to the depth at which the Sidetracking operation is initiated shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit “C.”

Sidetracking. Except as later provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a “deepening” operation shall also be applicable to any proposal to directionally control and intentionally deviate the well from vertical so as to change the bottom hole location (called “sidetracking”), unless done to straighten the hole or to drill around junk in the hole or because of other mechanical difficulties. Any party having the right to participate in a proposed sidetracking operation that does not own an interest in the well at the time of the notice shall, on electing to participate, tender to the well owners its proportionate share (equal to its interest in the sidetracking operation) of the value of that portion of the well to be utilized as follows: (a) If the proposal is for sidetracking a dry hole, reimbursement shall be on the basis of the actual costs incurred in the initial drilling of the well down to the depth at which the sidetracking operation is initiated. (b) If the proposal is for sidetracking the well which has previously produced, reimbursement shall be on the basis of the well’s salvable materials and equipment down to the depth at which the sidetracking operation is initiated, determined in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit “C,” less the estimated cost of salvaging and the estimated cost of plugging and abandoning. In the event that notice for a sidetracking operation is given while the drilling rig to be utilized is on location, the response period shall be limited to forty-eight (48) hours, exclusive of Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays; provided, however, any party may request and receive up to eight (8) additional days after expiration of the forty-eight (48) hours in which to respond by paying for all stand-by time incurred during the extended response period. If more than one party elects to take additional time to respond to the notice, stand-by costs shall be allocated between the parties taking additional time to respond on a day-to-day basis in the proportion each electing party’s interest, as shown on Exhibit “A,” bears to the total interest, as shown on Exhibit “A,” of all the electing parties. In all other instances the response period to a proposal for sidetracking shall be limited to thirty (30) days.

  • Decommissioning (a) The Contractor shall submit to the Designated Authority, for its approval, pursuant to sub-paragraph 4.11(d)(v), a Decommissioning Plan for the Development Area and a schedule of provisions for the Decommissioning Costs Reserve. (b) The Decommissioning Plan shall be revised and resubmitted to the Designated Authority for its approval at such times as are reasonable having regard to the likelihood that the Decommissioning Plan (including cost estimates thereunder) may need to be revised. (c) The Contractor shall carry out the Decommissioning Plan substantially in accordance with its terms. (d) Estimates of the monies required for the funding of the Decommissioning Plan shall be charged as Recoverable Costs beginning in the Calendar Year following the Calendar Year in which Commercial Production first occurs. The amount charged in each Calendar Year shall be calculated as follows: (i) The total Decommissioning costs at the expected date of Decommissioning shall first be calculated. (ii) There shall be deducted from such total Decommissioning costs the additions made to the Decommissioning Costs Reserve made, and taken as Recoverable Costs, in all previous Calendar Years together with interest on such Recoverable Costs calculated to the approved date of Decommissioning at the actual or forecast rate of Uplift (whichever is applicable). (iii) The residual Decommissioning costs, resulting from the calculations under sub-paragraph 4.14(d)(i) and (ii), shall then be discounted to the Calendar Year in question at the forecast rate of Uplift for each Calendar Year remaining until the Calendar Year of Decommissioning. (iv) The discounted total of residual Decommissioning costs shall then be divided by the total number of Calendar Years remaining prior to the Calendar Year of Decommissioning itself, including the Calendar Year in question. (v) The resultant amount shall be the addition to the Decommissioning Costs Reserve for the Calendar Year in question. (vi) It is the intention of this provision that the total accumulated provision allowed, including interest calculated to the Calendar Year of Decommissioning at the rate of Uplift, will equal the total Decommissioning costs. (vii) If the amount in sub-paragraph 4.14(d)(v) is a negative amount, then such amount shall be treated as a reduction of Recoverable Costs for the Calendar Year in question.

  • Commissioning Commissioning tests of the Interconnection Customer’s installed equipment shall be performed pursuant to applicable codes and standards.

  • Reconnection The Parties shall cooperate with each other to restore the Small Generating Facility, Interconnection Facilities, and the New York State Transmission System and Distribution System to their normal operating state as soon as reasonably practicable following a temporary disconnection.

  • Reconstruction (a) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) below, in the event the Premises or any other portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance, and such damage does not require structural demolition and reconstruction of all or part of the Building, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair such damage utilizing the proceeds of insurance and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable reduction of Minimum Rent from the date of damage until completion of such repairs, based on the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises. (b) In the event that any casualty requires structural demolition and reconstruction of all or a material part of the Building (whether or not such reconstruction involves any portion of the Premises), Tenant may, at its election, give notice to Landlord at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage, terminating this Lease as of the date of the casualty. In the event of giving such notice, this Lease and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date of the casualty, the Rent shall be paid up to the date of such casualty, and Landlord shall be entitled to all insurance maintained by Tenant on the Building (except for proceeds attributable to Tenant’s personal property in, on or about the Premises). In the alternative, and so long as at least five (5) years remain in the Term or Tenant then exercises an Option pursuant to Paragraph 3(b), if any Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord within such 60-day period, elect to require Landlord to repair or restore such damage, in which case the Minimum Rent shall be proportionately reduced as provided in subparagraph (a) above and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Tenant shall have the right to alter the size and configuration of the Building in the course of such reconstruction, so long as the Building as reconstructed is an integrated architectural unit, the dimensions of the Premises are substantially the same as prior to such casualty and Tenant is able to operate its business as intended at the time of Lease execution, subject to Landlord’s approval which will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied. If Tenant elects to require Landlord to construct the improvements, Tenant will make available to Landlord all insurance proceeds received by Tenant or due to Tenant, and, prior to any reconstruction, Tenant will deposit with Landlord or its contractor the amount by which the cost of reconstruction exceeds the amount of the insurance proceeds.
