One of the few constants in the global oil and gas industry is change. Geopolitical volatility, fluctuations in global demand, diversification into clean energy, regulatory developments and technological advancements affect every business operating in the sector.

We provide guidance to our clients as they adapt to this dynamic landscape by advising on the full range of strategic projects and day-to-day activities. That means being flexible and skilled enough to work in multiple jurisdictions worldwide, and thinking innovatively to anticipate client needs.

From advising on a multi-billion-dollar deal acquiring a package of UK North Sea assets to resolving a dispute over the proper valuation of produced hydrocarbons for the payment of royalties in North Dakota, we are regularly called upon to provide counsel to our upstream and midstream clients on a diverse range of large-scale projects, A&D, corporate M&A, supply chain issues, operational matters and commercial disputes across the globe.

Our team is made up of experienced oil and gas industry advisors covering a broad range of legal disciplines. We are passionate about the quality of advice we provide, and many of our staff honed their skills in legal and commercial roles while working for a range of players in the oil and gas industry. We understand the challenges our clients face because we’ve been in their shoes.  We know changes aren’t permanent; change is.

Our work encompasses onshore and offshore conventional E&P, unconventional E&P, LNG, gas storage and carbon capture and storage. Areas we advise on include petroleum licensing, joint ventures, development projects, unitizations, asset reorganizations, finance, share and asset acquisitions and divestitures.

Testimonials

"The team [at Womble Bond Dickinson] is extremely personable and very clued up on what’s important from a commercial perspective... When we are short of internal resources and need people who really know their way around oil and gas agreements, and who can plug into a project and deal with the nitty-gritty, [they] are a really good resource for us.”
