    Update On Midstream Agreements in Bankruptcy—From Sabine to Southland and Beyond
    Many recent E&P bankruptcies have grappled with the characterization of midstream agreements as either contractual rights that can be rejected or real property interests that ride through unaffected. This presentation analyzes the ever-shifting legal landscape, which has seen midstream agreements characterized as both, leading to a widening split in the courts and uncertainty in the industry.

This presentation will discuss these case holdings, their impact on industry stakeholders, and drafting advice for avoiding their negative effects.
