Samson Resources Co. v. Corporation Comn

1 This Court is once again called upon to enquire into the question of the scope of respondent Oklahoma Corporation Commissions jurisdiction over matters related to the development of oil and gas drilling operations. Petitioner, Samson Resources Company, contends that the Commission is attempting to exercise jurisdiction over an area of private contractual relationships. Respondents Commission and Tenneco Oil Company argue that the matter is within the Commissions jurisdiction as it involves the shibboleth "correlative rights."
