oil and gas lease

A lease granting the right to extract oil and gas from a specified piece of land.

• Although called a “lease,” this interest is typically considered a determinable fee in the minerals rather than a grant of possession for a term of years. [Cases: Mines and Minerals 73–81. C.J.S. Mines and Minerals §§ 210, 233, 238–283, 285–325, 442.]
