On January 19 in The Woodlands, Texas, Jones Walker is hosting a reception at The Woodlands Marriott for seminar participants following the American Association of Professional Landmen Outer Continental Shelf Workshop being held at Anadarko's Woodlands corporate offices. Energy special counsel David Hunter is presenting the topic, "Force Majeure Under the Deepwater Operating Agreement."
