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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he continuous operation in the drilling of a well, during which the operator lost the initial hole, skidded the rig six feet from the initial hole and drilled to a depth of 416.25 feet, and continued drilling operations is merely an incident in the drilling of the well and does not constitute a new well. So long as the surface location of the borehole is not otherwise so precisely defined and limited, the drilling of a well consists of penetrating the earth from the surface to the prescribed depth with drilling equipment. Minor vertical or horizontal variations do not convert the operation to a new well, whether such variations occur at the surface of the earth or beneath it. The finding of the Commission that a new well was commenced was therefore not supported by substantial evidence and must be reversed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Assuming arguendo that the Legislature could constitutionally confer exclusive jurisdiction in the Corporation Commission to determine the proper costs in the event of a dispute in the drilling and development of a pooled oil and gas drilling unit, § 87.1(e) may not be construed as conferring or a Legislative attempt to confer, such exclusive jurisdiction.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The nature of a pleading filed in a cause is determined by the subject matter thereof, and by the relief the Court is authorized to grant under it, and not by the title given it by the pleader.”
