The Supreme Court of Texas recently rejected hearing a petition related to a lawsuit concerning a subsurface trespass case between lessees of two adjacent mineral estates. Lightning Oil Company sued Anadarko E&P Onshore to prevent Anadarko from siting a well on the land overlying Lightning’s mineral estate and from drilling through Lightning’s mineral estate to reach Anadarko’s adjacent mineral estate.
