In February 2023, AZA and Hogan Thompson law firm teamed up to win their two clients a total of $41.8 million from a South Texas jury in an oil and gas trespass case.
A McMullen County jury unanimously found that AZA’s client SilverBow Resources and Hogan Thompson’s client El Dorado Gas & Oil were damaged by Energy Transfer’s trespass. The trial focused on whether midstream energy company Energy Transfer should pay for additional drilling and production costs caused by Energy Transfer’s injection of natural gas processing waste byproducts in the subsurface.
