Legal Expert Reports

Suitable for arbitration or other legal proceedings.

An assignment can also be undertaken as a Single Joint Expert on behalf of both or all parties to a dispute. Where proceedings do go ahead, supporting testimony will be provided if required by the court or tribunal.

Technical Expert Report

For a Oil Companies, Contractors, Insurers or other parties. Where an undesirable event has occurred which has resulted in actual or potential injury or loss, this type of Expert Report will provide an independent technical analysis of the events in question. This analysis will support as appropriate an Expert Opinion as to the causes and recommendations to prevent a future recurrence. This will be written as simply as possible but for a technically competent audience with explanatory notes if required for non technical readers. If subsequent legal action or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is resorted to, a Legal Expert Report can be written.

The recommended procedure for the Technical Expert Report starts with a full examination of all available data including computer records, logs, reports, photographs, video feeds etc. A subsequent visit to the wellsite will often benefit the investigation if this can be arranged. This allows more data to be gathered and will ideally include interviews with those involved or present at the time.

Arbitration for oilfield related disputes
