The modern oil and gas industry is characterized by high technological complexity and significant risks of accidents, leading to considerable economic losses and environmental consequences. In the context of legal disputes related to identifying the causes of equipment failures and determining the liability of the parties involved, forensic examination of metals and related products plays a crucial role. This paper discusses the specific features of material science expertise in the practice of the Scientific and Production Center "Samara" (LLC "NPC "Samara"), which has accumulated extensive experience in this field. The authors highlight the main challenges of expert activity, including communication difficulties between experts and participants in judicial proceedings, the lack of standardized research methodologies, and the need for continuous professional development of specialists. Several case studies are presented where expert conclusions played a decisive role in court decisions. The paper also proposes ways to improve the efficiency of forensic practice, including strengthening interaction between lawyers and technical experts, organizing specialized training programs, and enhancing approaches to the selection of research methods.
