The post Texas Federal jury finds Apache did not breach contract with W&T Offshore first appeared on SEONewsWire.net.]]> A Texas federal jury found that Apache Corp. did not breach its contract with W&T Offshore Inc., a Houston-based oil and gas producer, in a dispute that began in 2011.

The jury verdict was accepted by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, while allowing W&T to file any post-verdict motions.

Apache Corp., an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, has operations in Canada and Egypt, in addition to the United States. W&T Offshore has operations in approximately 66 offshore fields in the Gulf of Mexico. W&T also has onshore operations in the Permian Basin of West Texas, but a substantial majority of the company’s operations are offshore.

W&T filed the lawsuit against Apache, also based in Houston, in 2011, claiming that the energy company breached a processing contract and recorded inaccurate figures regarding how much processed oil was owed to W&T.

Apache has now filed a countersuit claiming $31.5 million in damages. Apache representatives stated that W&T breached the joint operating agreement by failing to pay its assigned share of 49 percent of costs associated with plugging and abandoning three Gulf of Mexico offshore wells.

An Apache spokesman said that W&T refused to comply with “clear contractual obligations,” leading Apache to file the countersuit.

The post “Talk. Text. Crash.” — Texas Department of Transportation gets deadly serious about driving with cellphones first appeared on SEONewsWire.net.]]> Recently, the Permian Basin has been the scene of numerous distracted-driving accidents, and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) wants to reduce the numbers. Distracted driving is generally caused by using a cellphone and texting or talking, but Texas accidents have even been caused by drivers brushing their teeth, reading the newspaper, combing hair and applying makeup.

TxDOT has launched an information campaign to help drivers stop driving while doing anything else but paying attention to the road. The campaign is marked by the slogan, “Talk. Text. Crash.” It is meant to remind drivers of the very real dangers of talking or texting on the phone while driving. 

Tapping a screen keeps a driver from paying attention to anything else, including the traffic around the car, often traveling at highway speeds. One moment of inattention could lead to a collision.

Alone, clever advertising campaigns cannot convince stubborn drivers who believe they need to or can text and drive with impunity, but they can raise awareness significantly. Death is final. A text or phone call can wait.
