In 2013, partner Mike Oldham and Solace Southwick represented a major midstream company in negotiations and mediation regarding a potential arbitration dispute with various non-operating working interest owners in the Permian Basin. The working interest owners claimed that the midstream company was obligated to upgrade and expand its gathering and processing capabilities on pace with the rapidly increasing production volumes in the area. Following a mediation in December 2013, the various constituencies were able to resolve their differences through a negotiated business solution.
