Oilfield and Offshore Platform Accidents

Oilfield and Offshore Platform Accident Defense

South Texas is home to many refineries that convert crude oil to gasoline supplying our nation’s thirst and dependence for fuel. Consequently, South Texas and the Gulf of Mexico has a robust oil exploration industry. Oilfield drilling and offshore platforms pump Texas crude 24/7. Inevitably, people get hurt.

At Barker, Leon & Fancher, LLP, we offer a wealth of experience in oilfield and platform litigation. From the arctic waters of the North Sea where the Piper Alpha Disaster occurred to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and further through the mesquite laden pastures and senderos pointing to drilling sites in South Texas - our attorneys have been there. We have represented exploration companies, drilling companies, service companies, gaugers, geologist, petroleum engineers and vendors engaged in the oil business. From pollution to explosions and injuries to death, we have defended many in a very rugged and tough industry that we call the “oil patch.”
