Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Harrison Trust owns 320 acres in Reeves County.\u00a0 Mr. Harrison is the trustee of the Harrison Trust.\u00a0 The minerals beneath the land are owned by the State of Texas.<\/p>\n

In 2009, Harrison executed an oil and gas lease on behalf of the State with Eagle Oil & Gas, as is allowed by the Natural Resources Code on certain lands.\u00a0 Eventually, the land was assigned to Comstock Oil and Gas and finally to Rosetta.<\/p>\n

The original lease contained a clause related specifically to the use of water, which stated:\u00a0 USE OF WATER. Lessee shall have the right to use use water produced on said land necessary for operations under this lease except for water from wells or tanks of the owner of the soil; provided, however, Lessee shall not use potable water or water suitable for livestock or irrigation purposes for waterflood operations without the prior consent of the owner of the soil.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the assignment, Harrison sued Eagle for negligence.\u00a0 Harrison claims that Eagle destroyed Harrison’s irrigation ditch.\u00a0 As a result, Comstock and Harrison entered into a settlement agreement that provided Comstock would make repairs to a water well on Harrison’s land and would purchase 120,000 barrels of water from the Harrison Trust at a rate of $.50\/barrel.\u00a0 Comstock complied with the agreement.<\/p>\n

Then, after drilling two wells and with construction underway on a third, Comstock assigned the lease to Rosetta.\u00a0 \u00a0Rosetta continued to drill additional wells, but did not purchase water from Harrison.\u00a0 Instead, they purchased water from a neighbor and brought temporary water lines across Harrison’s property to fill storage tanks near the wells.<\/p>\n

Lawsuit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harrison filed suit against Rosetta for breach of contract, claiming a Rosetta employee orally agreed to continue the same water arrangement with the trust as Comstock.\u00a0 He also claimed Rosetta violated a local custom he referred to as “The West Texas Rule,” claiming that it was customary for mineral companies to only purchase water from the surface owner of the tract it was operation on and not pump in water from neighboring landowners unless it was necessary.\u00a0 He also asserted claims for trespass, negligence, and gross negligence because it would have been unnecessary to bring the temporary water lines and extra equipment on the property had Rosetta purchased water from Harrison.\u00a0 Finally, he sought an injunction preventing Rosetta from using his neighbor’s water and cancelling the oil and gas lease.<\/p>\n

After Rosetta filed summary judgment motions, Harrison added a claim that Rosetta violated the accommodation doctrine by not purchasing his water, thereby rendering his well and the frac pit on his property useless, causing unnecessary damage.\u00a0 Rosetta filed a summary judgment motion on that claim as well.<\/p>\n

The trial court granted summary judgment to Rosetta on all claims and dismissed the case.\u00a0 Harrison appealed.<\/p>\n

Opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The El Paso Court of Appeals sided with Rosetta. [Read full opinion here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

Accommodation Doctrine\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

First, the court addressed the accommodation doctrine claim.\u00a0 Under the accommodation doctrine, a surface owner must prove: (1) lessee’s use of the surface substantially impairs the existing surface use; (2) the surface owner has no reasonably alternative method available to continue his existing use of the surface; and (3) there are alternative, reasonable, customary, and industry-accepted methods available to the lessee which will allow recovery of minerals that will also allow the surface owner to continue the existing use.\u00a0 Here, Harrison essentially argued that because the former operator built a frac pit on his land that was an existing surface use, so when Rosetta refused to continue purchasing water from Harrison and using the pond, that substantially interfered with that use.<\/p>\n

The court explained its rejection of this argument.\u00a0 “While creative, categorizing a refusal to buy goods produced from the land as “interference” with the land for purposes of the accommodation doctrine would stretch the doctrine beyond recognition.”\u00a0 Here, it may have been less financially beneficial for the Trust if Rosetta had purchased water, but their failure to do so did not substantially impair an existing surface use, nor could Harrison show no reasonable alternative to maintain the existing surface use.\u00a0 Further, the court stated “were we to hold for Harrison on these facts, we would, in effect, be holding that all mineral leases must use and purchase water from the surface owner under the accommodation doctrine if his water is available for use.\u00a0 The accommodation doctrine does not require such a holding, and we decline Harrison’s invitation to stretch it to do so.”<\/p>\n

Negligent Injury to Land<\/em><\/p>\n

To succeed, Harrison had to introduce evidence that Rosetta acted negligently or used more of the land than was reasonably necessary.\u00a0 The court held that he failed to do so.<\/p>\n

Here, the lease authorized, but did not require, Rosetta to use Harrison’s surface water.\u00a0 Further, the lease allowed Rosetta to use the land for the purpose of laying pipe lines, building tanks and building stations and structures to store, treat, and transport gas.\u00a0 \u00a0Harrison did not argue that Rosetta used more of the land than was necessary to bring the water in.\u00a0 Harrison did not argue that Rosetta performed the tasks of pumping water in in a negligent manner.\u00a0 Thus, he failed to prove his claims.<\/p>\n

It does not appear that Harrison appealed to the Texas Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Take Aways<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, this case offers a good reminder that most oil and gas leases drafted by the lessee contain clauses allowing for assignments, which means the landowner may be dealing with a much different company that he or she leased to.<\/p>\n

Second, remember never to rely on any oral representations or promises during negotiations of an oil or gas lease (or any contractual agreement, for that matter).\u00a0 Here, Harrison claimed that a Rosetta employee said the company would continue purchasing water from Harrison, but that was apparently never reduced to writing.<\/p>\n

Third, this case shows that the accommodation doctrine, nor Harrison’s so-called “West Texas Rule” require a lessee to purchase water from the surface owner of the tract upon which operations occur, absent some contractual agreement to do so.\u00a0 If this is a term that a surface owner wants included in a lease, it should be negotiated and included in the lease.<\/p>\n
