Pipeline, midstream and terminal expert witness experience.
Quincy Jones evaluates operational performance, throughput, storage, processing, terminal practices and commercial damages across natural gas, NGL and refined-product infrastructure.
Operational reality matters when throughput is disputed
A claimed volume shortfall may depend on more than pipeline capacity. Upstream supply, product quality, storage, processing, nominations, terminal constraints, maintenance and downstream demand can all affect achievable throughput.
- Pipeline flow and historian data
- Natural gas and NGL processing
- Storage and fractionation operations
- Terminal tank management and permits
- Loading, unloading and inter-terminal transfers
- Product quality, contamination and blending
- Prudent-operator and mitigation questions
- Throughput shortfalls and related damages
From operating data to commercial impacts
The analysis often requires translating detailed operating records into an explanation of what the infrastructure could reasonably have handled and what commercial consequences followed.
Capacity & constraints
Hydraulic, processing, storage, maintenance and operating constraints that affect effective throughput.
Industry custom & practice
Operator conduct, maintenance, control philosophy, permitting, tank operations and mitigation.
Damages
Lost volumes, product recovery, price and margin effects, mitigation and the commercial reasonableness of the but-for case.
