In response to the latest energy crisis, Mexico Oil began testing a new method of extracting oil from certain types of subsurface rock. The process used concentrated sound waves to pulverize the rock and draw out the oil. The tests, conducted in a sparsely populated area, caused heavy vibrations in the ground and the slumping of subsurface earth structures surrounding the test site. This led to the collapse of a water well on Riorson’s property.If Riorson brings a negligence action against Mexico Oil, which of the following would be most helpful to Mexico Oil in avoiding liability?
