AND NOW, this 14th day of April, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioners, is:
Did the Superior Court err in the grant of summary judgement against Petitioner on Counts I, II, and V of its amended complaint in equity on a "drill or pay oil and gas lease" where a well on each parcel was drilled by Petitioner and pursuant to each lease the wells were productive, and no testimony was taken as to the Petitioner's good faith production decision pursuant to the Supreme Court decision in the case of T. W. Phillips Gas and Oil Co. v Jedlicka, 615 Pa. 199, 42 A.3d 261 (2012)?
