Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The term `royalty interest' generally refers to a right to share in the production of oil and gas at severance. It is personal property and concerns the proceeds from oil and gas leases if and when there is production. "The term `mineral interest' as commonly used refers to the oil and gas in place and constitutes a present ownership of an interest in real property. ( Shepard, Executrix v. John Hancock Mutual Life Ins. Co., 189 Kan. 125 , 368 P.2d 19 .) A prime characteristic of a mineral interest is the right to enter the land to produce and carry on production activities. This right may be leased to others. (Williams and Meyers, Oil and Gas Law, Manual of Terms, p. 232.)"”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“‘In Dewell a term mineral interest under a half section of land was reserved in a deed. The reservation ran for a primary term of twenty years and as long thereafter as oil was produced from the premises. The interest was leased and the lease on this half section was unitized with leases on other land. Production was obtained on the other land. There were no producing wells drilled on the half section of land. The court held that production on the other land did not perpetuate the mineral interest on the half section beyond the primary term. To perpetuate the interest production had to come from the half section.” (p. 663.)”
