Legal Fight Over Flaring in the Eagle Ford
John B. McFarland, writing in the Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody Oil and Gas Lawyer Blog, updates a legal fight over whether a producer can continue to flare gas from its 
wells.
The dispute, between Williams MLP Operating and Exco Operating Co., has moved to district court in Travis County in Austin.
McFarland describes the background of the case, which involves the purchase of wells, a gathering system and gathering contract, bankruptcy, and a potential net loss of $146 million if the permit to flare gas is not granted.
