Million Dollar Oil and Gas Lease Involved in WV Case
Charleston W V Nov 30 The Guffey Gillespie Oil Company of Pittsburg won a West Virginia Supreme Court injunction reversing a Kanawha Circuit Court forfeiture against Peerless Carbon Black. The case centers on a $1 million oil and gas lease for about 1000 acres near Charleston with daily gas production of several million cubic feet and 300 barrels of oil. The ruling holds that minor covenant breaches do not justify forfeiture and grants Guffey Gillespie possession of the property.
