Shell v. Kirby Exploration

Case no. 89-3462 We affirm the district court's ruling that there was no predial servitude on Platform "C" in Block 122. We reverse the ruling that Kirby remove the pipeline pending the district court's reconsideration of its construction of the Sale and Assignment in the light of Article 2054 of the Louisiana Civil Code, and any hearing the district court might consider it advisable to hold on the custom or practices in the offshore oil and gas industry bearing on the problem this case presents.
