PART 4. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE LESSEE
§122. Lessee's obligation to act as reasonably prudent operator
A mineral lessee is not under a fiduciary obligation to his lessor, but he is bound to perform the contract in good faith and to develop and operate the property leased as a reasonably prudent operator for the mutual benefit of himself and his lessor. Parties may stipulate what shall constitute reasonably prudent conduct on the part of the lessee.
