Louisiana Supreme Court to Decide on Deduction of Post-Production Costs in Oil and Gas Case
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Johnson v. Chesapeake, Louisiana LP sent a certified question to the Louisiana Supreme Court to decide whether Louisiana's deeply rooted doctrine of Negotiorum Gestio applies in a unitization context, allowing the deduction of post-production costs from mineral estates. The case involves a dispute between Linda and James Johnson, who own land and the mineral interests underneath it in Louisiana, and Chesapeake, an oil and gas operator. The dissenting judge argued that the case could be decided by applying principles of statutory construction, while the majority believed the question should be certified to the state Supreme Court for clarity on the doctrine's application.
