Jake,
That is correct. If you are retaining the lease,a letter explaining your intent(assigning certain wellbore only rights to a
third-party operator) is all that is needed. Please include the name of the party obtaining said wellbore rights,which
well(s), and the percentage of rights, if applicable.Such letter can be mailed or emailed to me.

Hi Jess,
Thanks for the note. This is helpful.
In this case,Chevron (Noble Energy, Inc.)will be retaining the lease and assigning wellbore only rights to a third-party
operator. The consent provision appears to allow assignment for"other rights"with notice rather than a full consent
to assign if my interpretation is correct. Below is the Assignment provision which discusses consent and notice for
"other rights". Could you please help me determine if a consent letter would be needed in this instance?

Hi Jake,
The Consent to Assign is a pretty easy process.We just need a letter expressing your intent to assign the lease. It
should contain the legal description on the current lease, the current lessor's name,the name of who you are
assigning to,the Reception No. of the current lease, and a place for the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners
to sign. I have attached a few examples for you to reference.The cost to assign should be stated in your lease, but if
not, provide me the Reception No. and I can determine the amount for you. It ranges between $25 and $100,
depending when the lease was written. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
