Pipeline Owner Sued for $200M Breach Owes $1 Biz Court Determines

A Texas Business Court judge ruled Thursday that although Antero Resources, one of the largest U.S. suppliers of natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, had won earlier rulings in a breach of contract lawsuit against a West Virginia pipeline owner, Stonewall Gas Gathering, Antero would take only $1 of the $200 million it asked for under a “favored shipper” provision in a gas gathering agreement.

“Antero sued asking for $200 million in damages. It is rewarding for Stonewall to have prevailed and defeated this claim by continuing to defend the case vigorously through trial,” Todd Mensing, partner at the Houston-based trial boutique Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Mensing, said in a news release.
