GableGotwals obtained an Opinion from the Oklahoma Supreme Court affirming denial of a motion for temporary injunction in a matter filed pursuant to the Oklahoma Surface Damages Act. The oil and gas operator, represented by GableGotwals, was authorized to proceed with drilling its wells over the objection of a landowner claiming municipal zoning ordinances prevented the drilling. The District Court denied the landowner’s motion for temporary injunction, and the Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed after the landowner was granted an emergency injunction to stop the drilling. The Oklahoma Supreme Court further ordered that the operator could collect on the landowner’s posted bond.
