Supreme Court Decides Case on Gas Lease Rights in West Virginia
The Supreme Court rules it is the lessee who must decide whether gas exists in paying quantities. In McGraw Oil Co v Kennedy from Taylor County, the circuit court ruling was reversed and the lease remanded. Hugh Evans leased 528 acres for oil and gas in 1899, with fees and royalties tied to production. Evans received $132 after no well drilled for a year, then a well produced gas but was not marketed. gas rights passed through several parties to the Crystal Ice Co of Grafton via Kennedy in trust to the Crytal Ice Co. The case centers on title disputes and payment refusals amid a wild cat field with no pipelines. The McGraw Oil & Gas Co later drilled a producing gas well and sought to remove a title cloud created by Kennedy's claim.
