Friday’s Texas Supreme Court orders included accepting Denbury. They’re back like the Terminator and Poltergiest rolled into one.
- Even though the order was granted on April1st, it is not an April Fools joke.
- In February 2015 the appellate court reversed the trial court that ruled in favor of Denbury pipeline.
- What was the losing argument last year? That Denbury was a common carrier. The court looked at the low number of third parties that had contractual arrangments for the pipeline.
Why does this matter? This case was part of the fire that fanned the flames at the RRC for the common carrier rule changes. Look for legislative fixes that cements a solution.
