Rapid growth of oil and gas plays has spurred an energy renaissance in the U.S. – and with this growth, a number of legal challenges for the companies operating in these plays. 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.
We invite you to join us for a program about the unique issues and challenges associated with operating in the Bakken. Our Haynes and Boone speakers will be joined by North Dakota lawyers John W. Morrison of Crowley Fleck and Lawrence Bender of Fredrikson & Byron who have counseled companies operating in the Bakken for many years.

Speakers:
John W. Morrison - Crowley Fleck rel="noopener noreferrer" - Bismarck, ND
