DUHE, District Judge.
The trustee in this matter, Charles N. Wooten, Sr., seeks damages in excess of $18 million dollars from the United States Department of the Interior (“DOI”) for alleged overcharges for federal royalty crude oil that the debtor, Evangeline Refining Company (“Evangeline”), purchased from the Government from July 1974 through December 1982. The trustee maintains that such overcharges violated the mandatory petroleum price regulations of the Department of Energy (“DOE”) and its predecessor agencies in force from August 1973 through January 1981.
