Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This action was brought to recover royalties allegedly due from the production, extraction and sale of helium gas. The plaintiffs, Wilford L. Cline and R. Leona Cline, assigned certain oil and gas leases in Rush County, Kansas, to the defendant, George A. Angle, and reserved a royalty in any helium gas produced from the leases. The trial court after construing certain written instruments and considering stipulated facts entered a partial summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs. Defendant was ordered to account for royalty due. He applied for and received permission to perfect the instant interlocutory appeal. We will summarize the essential facts. The original oil and gas leases were acquired by Morrison Producing Company (Morrison). Morrison acquired a large block of leases in Rush County, Kansas. A few small gas wells were drilled on some of the leases. The wells were located in an area which became known as the Reichel gas field. Morrison sold all present and future gas production from its block of leases to Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas Company (Kansas-Nebraska). By 1960, gas development in the area appeared to be uneconomical. Morrison dropped much of the undeveloped acreage and granted Wilford L. Cline the right to farm out the balance of the undeveloped acreage.
