This case presents two questions about contract interpretation of oil and gas leases plus another question about tortious interference with contract. First, what is the best reading of this force majeure clause? Second, how does this contract and possibly other oil-and-gas contracts measure how far a "wellbore extends horizontally in the producing formation"? Third, do the facts here present a fact issue about tortious interference in contract?

This case requires the interpretation of an oil-and-gas lease habendum clause.
