These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Though a novel approach, it is com . ceivable that the lessee’s duty to act as a reasonably prudent operator for the parties’ mutual benefit might require disclo sure of the Denbury deal and the plan to recover millions of barrels of oil by utilizing “C02 enhanced oil recovery technology.” The facts alleged suggest that the recovery, of substantial reserves by use of the “C02 enhanced oil recovery, technology” was more than speculative. Though defendants are alleged to have had this knowledge, as demonstrated by the press release, they sought to purchase the plaintiffs’ royalty rights by offering “an amount of trailing royalties” that a purchaser unaware of the oil recovery project with Denbury would not turn down.”
