Description
This is a slant-hole case; and the first one to reach this court. Pan American Petroleum Corporation filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against B.B. Orr and W. R. Henderson to recover the value of oil and gas produced by defendants through two slant-holes. The defendant B.B.Orr was the lease operator and W. R. Henderson a working interest owner. It is undisputed that these defendants (appellees) produced oil and gas through two slant-holes surfaced on their lease, but bottomed under plaintiffs lease. The period involved began in 1948 and continued to 1962, when both wells were surveyed and shut in. Pan Am recovered a judgment, but its recovery was restricted to the amount of oil proved to have been taken within the two years next preceding the filing of the complaint.
