According to Hyperdynamics and the complaint...


"Tullow and Dana both entered bidding processes to purchase SCS’s interest that took place in Texas, and continued for years contacting SCS representatives in Texas to discuss drilling operations and the Concession, including to discuss disputes and conflicts arising under the JOA. Further, the JOA itself reflects the Parties’ consent to suit in Texas. Not only does the JOA select Texas law as the governing law for the JOA and all disputes arising under it, the JOA also selects Houston, Texas as the location for any arbitration arising under the JOA. The parties would, therefore, expect that any judicial requests for “interim measures”—as allowed under the JOA—to occur in that same location. As such, Defendants have purposefully availed themselves of the privileges and benefits of the laws and resources of Texas. They could reasonably foresee being hauled into court here.



23. Venue is proper in the Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391. SCS’s principal place of business is within the Division and a substantial part of the events giving rise to this claim occurred here."
