"Commencement of operations" in Texas

Neverybilly · 2015-03-08T23:30:42Z

In Texas, what constitutes commencement of operations? In Louisiana, I think at least it used to be that if the primary term expires and a well had not actually spudded, the lease terminated automatically. Is it different in Texas? If they hire a surveyor to stake a well and draw a unit plat, even apply for a drilling permit, is that enough? Building a pad or road? Or just what allows the lessee to retain ownership of the lease? Is this cut and dry or a very gray area?
