U.S. District Judge Matthew L. Garcia ruled that consumers and businesses can proceed with claims against eight shale producers and two executives for allegedly conspiring to restrict U.S. oil output and raise prices. The defendants include Permian Resources Corp., Expand Energy Corp., Continental Resources Inc., and others. Garcia dismissed some state-law claims but allowed most of the case to proceed, citing plausible allegations of a domestic agreement to limit production.
