Technical Dispute Resolution

fieldResolution of matters such as cross-boundary hydrocarbon migration has much in common with field redetermination.

Most of the Expert field redetermination projects and dispute resolutions in which JHMA has been involved remain confidential.

However, it is a matter of public record that John Martin was – with other technical specialists – individually appointed as an Expert to the Court of Appeal, The Netherlands, in a complex matter concerning the offshore Logger Field.

  • Work started in 2008 and the Experts’ Final Report was delivered to the Court some 15 months later.
