SAMSON RESOURCES CO. v. NEWFIELD EXPLORATION MID-CONTINENT, INC., 108430, 2012 OK 68, Decided 07/03/2012

---

¶0 Samson Resources Company filed a petition in the District Court of Roger Mills County alleging actual fraud, deceit, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, constructive fraud, and breach of duty as operator against Newfield Exploration Mid-Continent Inc. Samson also alleged that Newfield's actions amounted to extrinsic fraud on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and sought to invalidate Pooling Order 550310. The trial court granted Newfield's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, finding the petition to be an impermissible collateral attack on a valid Commission order. The Court of Civil Appeals, Division III, affirmed. We find that Samson's actions for damages sounding in tort were beyond the Commission's jurisdiction, and the district court in this case was the proper tribunal for Samson to bring its claims. The trial court's order granting Newfield's Motion to Dismiss is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
