An Expert witness is called in when complex matters have been brought to light and making a judgement either for or against a specific legal challenge requires an in-depth knowledge of protocol or procedure which may not be easily accessible to a court.
Expert witness cases, particularly oil and gas expert witness cases, usually entail matters of which a court may not have the specific specialisation which is required to make an accurate judgement about the validity of said claims. An expert witness, in all matters, has be free of influence of their side of the argument in order to make a statement about affairs in a non-biased manner.
In the oil and gas reservoir evaluation industry in particular, the services of an expert witness are absolutely essential as contention is very much the name of the game.
The amount of expert witnesses is limited only by the number of specialisations out there – and essentially any specific field can have a number of expert witnesses in a number of respects. Using the example of oil and gas expert witnesses, there are very many fields added onto this such as financial and engineering, legal and even political expert witnesses which have very specific knowledge which is not readily available.
Essentially, an expert witness is called to ensure that specific technicalities cannot be used as a shield or as a cover in judgement. The services of an expert witness allow a court to come to a fair and a just conclusion, no matter how complex the field.
A court can have a series of specialisations and a series of qualifications, but the oil and gas industry demands very specific knowledge. The role of an oil and gas expert witness is to detangle things and present them in objective answers to questions from both sides.
The expert witness is one which is selected based upon his or her year of experience within a certain field, and they are considered the best of all their peers with the most relevance to the industry and the most experience of a certain specialisation.
