Overview
McGinnis Lochridge has decades of experience representing clients before the Railroad Commission of Texas across all aspects of oil and gas regulation. We represent exploration and production companies, saltwater disposal operators, underground hydrocarbon storage facilities, pipelines, and individuals in permitting matters, contested hearings, enforcement proceedings, and proposed rulemaking.
Our attorneys coordinate the technical demands of reservoir engineering, geology, hydrology, and geophysics with the practical challenges of operating under Commission regulation. We maintain strong relationships with the Commission’s staff and routinely work with its managers, directors, and inspectors to resolve regulatory issues. This combination of technical knowledge, regulatory expertise, and agency relationships positions us to achieve efficient, cost-effective outcomes for our clients.
