Challenges for Texas Companies Operating in the Bakken Shale

PRESENTATION MATERIALS

Haynes and Boone, LLP presented Challenges for Texas Companies Operating in the Bakken Shale on Wednesday, May 13, 2015.

The rapid development of oil and gas plays has spurred an energy renaissance in the U.S. Nowhere is this truer than in North Dakota’s Bakken Shale, which has transformed the state’s economy and made it the nation’s second largest producer of oil behind Texas. This rapid growth has created numerous legal challenges to companies operating in North Dakota, and the dramatic decline in oil prices has created still more legal challenges.

We invite you to join us for a panel discussion about the unique issues and challenges associated with operating in the Bakken. Our Haynes and Boone panelists will be joined by North Dakota lawyers who have counseled companies operating in the Bakken. Topics covered will include:

• Tribal Issues
• Flaring/Royalty Issues
• Spacing and  Pooling of Horizontal Bakken Wells
• Latest in North Dakota Risk Penalty Assessment
• Challenges Operators and Midstream Companies Face in the Bakken Shale
• Bankruptcy in the Oil Patch
