Opinion
AND NOW, this 20 th day of November, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as rephrased, is:
Does the rule of capture apply to oil and gas produced from wells that were completed using hydraulic fracturing and preclude trespass liability for allegedly draining oil or gas from under nearby property, where the well is drilled solely on and beneath the driller's own property and the hydraulic fracturing fluids are injected solely on or beneath the driller's own property?
