The Pugh Clause is the language used in an oil & gas lease to spell out what happens to the portion of the acreage you leased that does not either contain a well or is not included within a producing petroleum pool or unit. The typical Pugh Clause reads as follows:

"If at the end of the primary term, a part but not all of the land covered by this lease, on a surface acreage basis, is not included within a unit or units in accordance with the other provisions hereof, this lease shall terminate as to such part, or parts, of the land lying outside such unit or units, unless this lease is perpetuated as to such land outside such unit or units by operations conducted thereon or by the production of oil, gas or other minerals, or by such operations and such production in accordance with the provisions hereof."

The word "Pugh" is actually a common Welsh surname. The approximate tranlation is "Son of Hugh" in Welsh. Some people also think the word is German or Irish in origin.

What does pew clause in oil and gas leasing mean?

The correct spelling is Pugh. The Pugh Clause, named after the attorney who originally came up with it, requires that the oil company release all acreage that is not in a producing unit after the end of the primary term of the lease. In other words, after the company has drilled a producing well, they must release any acreage that the mineral owner is not getting royalty payments on. That allows the mineral owner to lease that acreage again. There is also a clause called a Horizontal Pugh Clause that requires the company to release depths that are not being produced. This allows the mineral owner to lease those different depths again.
