IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF PAYNE COUNTY STATE OF OKLAHOMA

If You Suffered Damage From The Earthquakes in Oklahoma Between April 16, 2013 And the Effective Date, You May Be Eligible For A Payment From A Class Action Settlement.

A State Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

$7,500,000.00 in settlement have been reached in a class action lawsuit about whether certain Defendants operated wastewater disposal wells that allegedly contributed to causing the earthquakes near Cushing, Oklahoma and also in other areas in Oklahoma occurring within the Settlement Class Period. The Settlement resolves any and all claims against White Star Petroleum, LLC, Equal Energy US, Inc., Circle 9 Resources, LLC, Shields Operating, Inc., Montclair Energy LLC, Petco Petroleum Corp., Dryes Corner, LLC, Midstates Petroleum Co., LLC, Spess Oil Company, TNT Operating Co., Inc., and White Operating Co. (together, the “Settling Defendants”), alleged to arise from earthquakes that occurred between April 16, 2013 and the Effective Date with epicenters within the State of Oklahoma, including but not limited to the 5.8m earthquake near Pawnee, Oklahoma, on September 3, 2016, and the 5.0m earthquake near Cushing, Oklahoma, on November 6, 2016. The Settling Defendants dispute and deny all of the allegations made by the Plaintiff.

You may be eligible to participate in the proposed Settlement, if it is finally approved, if you owned or have had an interest in residential or commercial real estate properties within the borders of Oklahoma between April 16, 2013 and the Effective Date and suffered earthquake damages from earthquakes near Pawnee, Oklahoma, Cushing, Oklahoma, or other seismicity in other areas of Oklahoma.

The Settlement will provide benefits to those who qualify. You will need to file a Claim Form to receive benefits from the Settlement.

Your legal rights are affected whether you act, or don’t act. Read this Notice carefully.
