Mediations involving oil and gas cases share the same basic process as any mediation. However, given the current economic times and who the parties tend to be, they may call for a different approach. Lawyers and mediators who understand the traits of oil and gas executives and the nature of the business are much more likely to help their clients turn a dispute into a deal.
Given their varied nature, oil and gas cases may take the form of surface access disputes, royalty disputes and a wide variety of commercial disputes between companies. Commercial disputes, while complex, provide opportunities for business solutions that may not be present in other types of cases. Moreover, during a boom like those in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford Shale, every hour spent on a dispute is an hour of lost opportunity.
