*282OPINION

OSBORN, Justice.

This case involves the issue of an implied covenant to market natural gas at fair market value under a lease which provides for a royalty based upon the amount realized from the sale of such gas. The trial Court awarded recovery for a sum based upon the price paid by other purchasers of gas from the same well. We affirm that part of the judgment, but reverse and render as to the part which requires that future royalties be based upon the price paid in the future by one specific purchaser of gas from the well in question.
