found this on the net:

"In 1947, a Louisiana lawyer, Lawrence G. Pugh, drafted a clause,
eventually named after him, which was calculated to prevent the
holding of non-pooled acreage in his client's lease while certain
portions of the lease acreage were being held under pooled
arrangements. The main purpose of a Pugh clause "is to protect the
lessor from the anomaly of having the entire property held under a
lease by production from a very small portion," and the clause is
designed to "foster reasonable development of leased property.
Although a Pugh clause generally provides for a severance of the lease
where less than all of the leasehold is included in a single unit,
Pugh clauses vary widely in form. "
