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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) whether the structures or facilities to which the contract applies or with which it is associated are part of an infield production system; (2) what is the geographical location of the structure or facility relative to a well or wells; (3) what is the purpose or function of the facility or structure in question; (4) who owns and operates the relevant facility or structure, and who owns and operates the well or wells that produce the gas in question; (5) and any number of other details affecting the functional and geographic nexus between a well and the structure or facility that is the object of the agreement.”
