Updated on

This case involves a class action against an energy storage company. The class action was filed on behalf of a putative class of the limited partners of the company regarding conflicts in the amounts of quarterly distributions to the limited partners through the allocation of capital expenditures for accounting purposes. This suit sought to compel the energy company to act in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement and sought money damages for past harm inflicted. A senior business or financial expert with a practical understanding of the enhanced oil recovery process and experience working for an energy company was sought to discuss how capital expenditures should be allocated in this case.

Question(s) For Expert Witness

1. Have you worked for an energy master limited partnership on the business side in an executive or senior financial/accounting capacity?
