Court rules idle oil leases can be canceled
The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that property owners may cancel oil and gas leases when the lessee fails to drill after nearby wells show production. Lion Oil Refining Co. of El Dorado was ordered to cancel two leases on A. L. Poindexter lands in Columbia County unless an offset well is drilled within six months. The court noted substantial drainage near the Poindexter tract and that delay rentals cannot shield nonperformance.
