Description
This case involves the construction of an oil-and-gas lease from lessor-plaintiffs to defendant. After defendant drilled a
dry hole, and the primary term of the lease had expired, the lessor-plaintiffs executed a further oil-and-gas lease to plaintiff
Marion Partlow. Thereafter plaintiffs brought this action against defendant for a permanent injunction to restrain him from
drilling on their land and for a cancellation of his lease. Defendant sought affirmative relief in the form of a declaratory
judgment upholding the continuing validity of his lease and adjudging plaintiff Partlow's lease null and void. Upon hearing,
the trial court dismissed plaintiff's complaint and granted such declaratory judgment. The basic facts were stipulated. On March 2, 1955, the plaintiffs, with the exception of Partlow, executed a standard commercial
oil-and-gas lease to defendant, which provided for a primary term of 60 days from the date and "as long thereafter as oil,
gas * * * is produced * * * or operations for drilling are continued as hereinafter provided * * *." The lease, prior to certain
alterations, was a standard printed form, referred to as "Producers 88 Sp. T.O.P. Rev. 2-54," and contained the further material
provisions:
