The arbitration panel found that SOCAR's action was in violation of the production sharing agreement signed by the pair. "The arbitration panel rejected all other claims and counterclaims between the parties and the arbitration therefore resolves all claims between Frontera and SOCAR with respect to the PSA," Frontera said.
