CATE v. ARCHON OIL CO., INC.

No. 60148.

695 P.2d 1352 (1985)

Clifford K. CATE, Jr., Appellee, v. ARCHON OIL COMPANY, INC., Appellant.

Supreme Court of Oklahoma.

February 19, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lawrence A.G. Johnson, Belva M. Brooks, Tulsa, for appellant.

Mitchell E. Shamas, Okmulgee, for appellee.


KAUGER, Justice.

The questions presented are whether an oil and gas lease is personalty or an interest in land, and what procedure should be used in the execution of a sheriff's sale of an oil and gas lease. We find that an oil and gas lease creates an interest in realty although it is not per se real estate, and that procedural due process must be followed before property can be sold at a sheriff's sale.
