Popis: On March 29, 2016, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a unanimous opinion in Shedden v. Anadarko E&P, 103 MAP 2014, in favor of Defendant Anadarko E.&P. Company, LP (“Anadarko”). In this case, Plaintiffs Leo E. Shedden and Sandra L. Shedden (“Plaintiffs”) sought to invalidate Anadarko’s lease to one half of the oil and gas underlying their property on the basis that Plaintiffs did not own title to that half of the oil and gas, roughly thirty one acres of Plaintiffs’ sixty two acre parcel, when they signed a lease with Anadarko in 2006. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s decision that Anadarko held the oil and gas rights to Plaintiffs’ entire sixty two acre property pursuant to its lease.
