W&T Offshore, L.L.C. v. Texas Brine Corporation and Texas Brine Company, L.L.C. C/W Texas Brine Company, L.L.C. v…

Summary

The Louisiana Supreme Court per curiam reversed the appellate court’s finding that Texas Brine committed trespass, reinstating the district court’s dismissal of W&T Offshore’s trespass and damage claims. The Court held that the 1979 lease right‑of‑use provision authorizes only a single pipeline and does not permit a larger replacement pipeline in a different location.
