Seth Levine and Mallory Wynne, partners on the Energy, Environmental, and Natural Resources Industry Team in the New Orleans office, were featured in The Center Square article "Lawsuit seeks to stop federal rule on oil, gas exploration" published on August 29, 2024. Seth and Mallory offered insight into the potential effects of a federal rule issued by the Department of Interior and the Bureau of Energy Management. The rule, which is being legally challenged, requires oil and gas companies without investment-grade credit rating operating on the Outer Continental Shelf to acquire additional financing to cover potential decommissioning costs for old wells.
