Description

Emerald Oil & Gas, L.C. ("Emerald") sued Exxon Corp. and Exxon Texas, Inc., as successor in interest to Humble Oil & Refining Co. ("Exxon"), for wrongful conduct in plugging and abandoning oil and gas wells in the Mary Ellen OConnor Field near Refugio, Texas. Emerald, who held mineral leases on the wells following Exxon, alleged that Exxon intentionally sabotaged the wells and misrepresented the status of the wells in public filings made with the Texas Railroad Commission. Specifically, Emerald alleged that Exxon cut casing without pulling or attempting to pull it, left non-drillable material in wellbores, filed false W-3 plugging reports with the Texas Railroad Commission, pumped tank bottoms and other pollutants into producing or disposal zones, and plugged and abandoned the wellbores in such a manner as to make re-entry difficult if not impossible. The trial court granted a partial summary judgment for Exxon on Emeralds statutory causes of action against Exxon. This judgment was severed, and Emerald appeals. We reverse and remand.
