Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals
At the forefront of the market
Our globally integrated practice applies our in-depth expertise across the spectrum of participants in the oil, gas and petrochemicals industry. We routinely advise IOCs, NOCs, regional oil companies and funders (debt and equity) on high-profile matters defining the market. Providing strategic advice to all of these industry players allows us to understand the commercial and legal issues from a number of different perspectives.
Delivering across the value chain
We offer a comprehensive service across the oil and gas value chain, delivering integrated solutions on a global basis. We cover upstream oil and gas, floating production and storage, LNG, pipelines, refining, petrochemicals and the marketing and trading of fuels. This exposure allows us to support your business objectives by adapting to the service you need.
Go-to firm for LNG
We have advised on some of the largest and most complex LNG projects globally. We continue to work on the development of numerous multi-billion dollar LNG projects, with our experience spanning liquefaction, regasification, import, storage, sales and procurement arrangements as well as price reviews. We have advised on around half of the FSRU/FSU projects globally, and have also advised on numerous receiving facilities which are the first in their country, including those in Australia, South Korea, the Philippines and Singapore.
Multi-disciplinary expertise
We advise on all aspects of work in the industry, including M&A, joint ventures, project development, project finance, corporate finance including reserve based lending, commercial agreements, environmental law, shipping law and dispute resolution; together with associated areas such as competition and regulation, tax and international law.
Supporting the drive to decarbonise
Beyond our oil, gas and petrochemicals expertise, we also bring considerable insights and experience relating to the broader energy mix and rapid shift to an energy transition economy. We are currently advising major clients in navigating this fundamental transition from hydrocarbon based sources to lower carbon energy sources.
The team's strengths include a high level of knowledge about the upstream sector, legal knowledge relevant to transactions and quick turnaround times. Chambers Energy 2022
