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."
