The trial court held a nonjury trial on April 16, 2007, and found that the producers had produced gas “in paying quantities” throughout the life of the lease, notwithstanding the 1959 loss. The trial court relied on Young v. Forest Oil, 45 A. 1 (Pa. 1899), for the proposition that courts owe deference to a lessee’s good faith judgment that a well is producing “in paying quantities.” Ms. Jedlicka appealed to the Superior Court, which affirmed the trial court’s decision.
