The Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio, Texas, issued a judgment in case No. 04-14-00170-CV involving appellants Anderson Energy Corporation and Ellersly, Inc. against appellees Dominion Oklahoma Texas Exploration. Production, Inc. and HighMount Exploration. Production Texas, LLC. The court reversed parts of the trial court’s judgment regarding the interpretation of the Contract Area and the duration of the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA). It ruled that the Contract Area encompasses interests acquired by the parties and their successors post-execution of the JOA and determined that the JOA is valid for a reasonable term. The court upheld the trial court's decision that denied summary judgment for HighMount on its affirmative defenses. The case was remanded for further proceedings to establish what constitutes a reasonable term for the JOA. Anderson Energy Corporation and Ellersly, Inc. are awarded their costs of appeal from Dominion Oklahoma Texas Exploration. Production, Inc. and HighMount Exploration. Production Texas, LLC. The judgment was signed by Justice Rebeca C. Martinez on June 30, 2015.
