McGinnis Lochridge associate McLean Bell will present a live webinar, Gas Trading Contracts: Force Majeure and the Fallout from Uri, on Tuesday, June 3, 2026, from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. CT.
The program has been approved for 1.0 hour of MCLE credit by the State Bar of Texas.
When Winter Storm Uri caused natural gas spot prices to surge from approximately $3/MMBtu to more than $1,000/MMBtu within days, the industry’s standard-form agreement — the NAESB Base Contract for Sale and Purchase of Natural Gas — became the subject of widespread litigation across Texas and federal courts. Drawing from his 2026 paper and presentation at the Ernest E. Smith Oil, Gas and Mineral Law Institute, McLean will provide a practical analysis of the legal developments that continue to shape contract drafting and commercial dispute strategy today.
