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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An “overriding royalty” generally arises through contracts between the lessee and a third person. It is a fractional interest in the .gross production of oil and gas under a lease in addition to the royalty reserved to the land owner or lessor. Overriding royalties are not charged with the cost of development or production. Overriding royalties are not royalties payable to the lessor under Mason v. Ladd Petroleum Corporation, 630 P.2d 1283 -84 (Okla.1981), therefore, they cannot be charged as lifting costs against the worMng interest owners.”
