Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Appellant Cities Service Gas Company brings for review here a judgment rendered by the district court of Anderson County, Kansas, on appellant's petition for judicial review of orders of the state corporation commission pursuant to K.S.A. 55-606. Such orders grant to the Woodson Pipe Line and Producing Company permission to waterflood an oil and gas lease in Anderson County under the provisions of K.S.A. 55-133; 55-134; and 55-135 and pertinent rules and regulations of the commission. The background of the controversy may be stated thus: The Woodson Pipe Line and Producing Company, hereinafter called Woodson, owns the right to produce oil from a formation called the Squirrel sand underlying certain land covered by what is known as the Buchanan lease. In 1936 Cities Service Gas Company, hereinafter called Cities, purchased from Woodson certain mineral rights to the Colony sand formation which is situated below the Squirrel sand under the Buchanan lease and other lands in the same vicinity. The two sand formations are physically separated from each other by a shale barrier. Cities has utilized the Colony sand as an underground storage reservoir for gas as a part of its integrated interstate gas pipe line system for the transportation of gas in interstate commerce. In 1936 at the time Cities acquired their initial gas storage rights from Woodson the two companies entered into an operating agreement concerning the operation of their respective interests and subsequent supplemental agreements have been made.
