DUE DILIGENCE FORMS PROGRAM (NKF08)

The purchase and sale of oil and gas properties has and continues to represent a large part of transactions involving producing and nonproducing properties.  To aid in conducting due diligence investigations, and closing purchase and sale transactions, the Due Diligence Forms Program is available.

A list of the forms in the Program is available in the Index of forms for the Due Diligence Forms Program.  On the menu bar at the top of the page, click on Sample Forms and Master Index.  On the pull down menu, click on Due Diligence Forms.

This Program has forms dealing with the sale and acquisition process.  The forms in the Program are organized topically, beginning with Preliminary Agreements and Offer Letters, and ending with Closing Documents used in transactions.

The due diligence phase of a transaction is dealt with in the checklists and worksheets for use in summarizing information found in conducting a review to verify the seller’s title and the status of properties.

There are a variety of conveyance forms that may be used to close a transaction, as provided for in a Purchase and Sale Agreement.

The Program also has forms of transition and sub-operating agreements to provide for the operation of properties after closing.

The forms in this Program may be used in any size transaction.  All of them are in text format (both MSWord and RTF) that may be revised, added to, and adapted to meet your specific needs.
