Texas Business Court Rules in Favor of Marathon in Winter Storm Uri Bench Trial

Following a four-day bench trial last week, the Texas Business Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of Marathon Oil, which had asked the court for a judgment declaring it did not owe Mercuria Energy America $17.4 million for failure to deliver natural gas during 2021’s Winter Storm Uri.

In a three-page final judgment, Third Division Judge Melissa Andrews also ordered that Marathon take nothing on its claim for attorney fees.
