OPINION
JIM R. WRIGHT, Chief Justice.
After a bench trial, the trial court held that the pricing provision in a gas purchase agreement was ambiguous. It entered a judgment for Incline Energy, Inc. (the gas seller) 1 against ConocoPhillips Company (the gas purchaser). We find that the agreement was not ambiguous, and we reverse and render judgment that Incline take nothing by its lawsuit.
There is a rather lengthy history of the events giving rise to this lawsuit. We believe that a recitation of only a brief portion of that history is necessary to a resolution of this appeal.
