Community Bank of Raymore, as Trustee or Agent v. Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C. and Anadarko Petroleum Corp.

OPINION

YVONNE T. RODRIGUEZ, Justice.

This appeal concerns the construction of an oil and gas lease. The issue is whether the right to extract minerals found deeper than the stratum or level from which production had been secured in a particular unit terminated when the lease’s primary term expired. The trial court concluded that it did not and rendered a take-nothing judgment in favor of Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C. and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and against Community Bank of Raymore (“CBR”). 1 In two issues, CBR argues that the trial court erred in so ruling. We affirm.
