Pennsylvania case law regarding dual-purpose oil and gas leases, which grant both production rights and storage rights, is complex and provides very fact-specific holdings which may not be applicable to every dual-purpose lease. However, in this past year, two favorable decisions have been issued providing a better understanding of the status of such a lease that is held by storage operations alone.
