Oil and Gas
Clients from every facet of the oil and gas industry have come to us for support on their biggest priorities—from complex transactions to high-stakes litigation. We know exploration and production and transportation and oilfield services, and our work for our clients is grounded in deep industry experience and technical knowledge and performed with an emphasis on delivering excellent client service.
We deliver comprehensive natural resources advice that supports clients engaged in all areas of upstream prospect generation, drilling and development programs, and production activities. Companies involved in the development, operation, and marketing of oil and gas properties call on us to provide experienced counselling, structuring of industry transactions and sophisticated litigation services.
We represent clients in high-value transactions involving acquisitions and divestitures of producing or prospective mineral assets. Our team has deep experience in:
- mineral title and leasing;
- joint operating and other development agreements;
- drilling and other service contracts;
- master service agreements; and
- transportation, gathering and processing agreements.
We have represented financial institutions for more than 40 years in oil and gas loan transactions, including funding of gathering and transportation pipeline construction projects by joint ventures.
We also help exploration and production companies secure the financing they need, whether that involves:
- bankruptcy and restructuring;
- conventional mortgage and bond financing;
- commercial mezzanine and derivative-based financings;
- equity-based financing;
- like-kind exchanges;
- private equity and venture capital funding;
- production payment transactions; or
- tax credit sales.
Our trial lawyers are as comfortable in a board room as they are in the courtroom because they understand the oil and gas business inside and out. When facing serious risk and business disruption, our clients rely upon our decades of experience and outstanding results in oil and gas litigation ranging from disputed transactions, royalty litigation and surface disputes to misappropriation of trade secrets.
