What is a retained acreage clause?

A retained-acreage provision is a negotiated provision in favor of the lessor. A retained-acreage provision requires the lessee to release land not assigned to a producing well (or active drilling/ reworking operations) at the end of the primary term.

Why is it called a Pugh clause?

To limit such outcomes, lessors often employ Pugh clauses, named after the creative Louisiana lawyer Lawrence G. Pugh, who first used such a clause in 1947 to prevent the holding of non-pooled acreage in his clients lease while only certain portions of the lease acreage were being held under pooling agreements.
