Description
This suit was instituted by Delhi-Taylor Corporation and Mayfair Minerals, Inc., against Christian R. Holmes and William L. Dugger, Jr., doing business as Dugger & Holmes, John W. Voss Drilling Company, Inc., and the City of Pharr, a municipal corporation of Hidalgo County, Texas, seeking a temporary injunction, and on final hearing a permanent injunction, restraining the defendants among other things, from sand-fracturing the sub-strata of a gas well within the corporate limits of the City of Pharr, which was directionally drilled from an adjoining lot and bottomed in the middle of the adjacent street. The street was thirty feet wide. As a process of completing this well, the defendants were preparing to "sand-fracture" and plaintiffs were seeking by temporary and permanent injunction to prevent this from being done, on the theory that the process would crack and fracture the formation at the bottom of the well, and that these fractures or fissures would extend across property lines and into property on which the plaintiffs held an oil and gas lease.
