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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The so-called “Pugh clause” ... represents an effort by landowners to avoid the application of the Hunter case. “Pugh clauses” come in a bewildering variety of detail, see Comment, The Effect of Unitization of the Duration and Extent of Mineral Interests in Louisiana, 36 Tul.L.Rev. 769, 791-795, but all basically provide that production from a unit including a portion of the leased property will maintain the lease only as to the property included within the unit. A modification in favor of the oil companies has been the additional provision which allows the lessee to maintain the lease in effect on the non-unitized acreage by paying delay rentals or by other stipulated action. Fremaux v. Buie, 212 So.2d 148 (La.App.3d Cir.1968); see Moses, Some Comments on the “Pugh Clause” in Louisiana Oil and Gas Leases, 37 Tul.L.Rev. 269, 272. Morrison v. Conoco, Inc., 575 F.Supp. 876 (M.D.La.1983).”
