Wood Group Mustang Inc. v. Freeport LNG Expansion L.P.

The firm helped represent plaintiff, a worldwide engineering contractor, in a dispute with Freeport LNG, the owner of a liquefied natural gas facility. Wood Group filed suit to collect on approximately $4 million in unpaid bills. Freeport LNG counterclaimed asserting approximately $18 million in damages related to horizontal directional drilling work. Wood Group filed a motion for summary judgment at the case’s outset on the vast majority of Freeport LNG’s alleged counterclaim damages. The Court granted Wood Group’s motion. Thereafter, Freeport LNG paid Wood Group’s outstanding bills. The remainder of the case settled in a confidential settlement agreement.
