Oil and Gas
Bloomfield’s Oil and Gas Practice is one of the leading practices in Africa. Our clients are governments, leading independent and national commercial oil corporations, oilfield service firms, sovereign wealth funds, private equity investors and other stakeholders in the industry.
Our advisory service cuts across the entire oil and gas value chain, as we help our clients develop the most appropriate and cost-effective solutions to their challenges.
We advise on acquisition of assets, financing and development of infrastructure, investments, divestments, and carry out legal and financial due diligence on different types of transactions, as well as on joint ventures in the oil and gas sector.
Beyond transactional advice, our oil and gas practice group is also focused on providing policy advice to government organisations on the development of oil and gas policies and regulations. Members of our team advised on the development of the domestic gas supply policy and were part of the team which drafted the Nigerian Gas Transportation Network Code.
The chair of our oil and gas practice is an outstanding energy lawyer who has distinguished himself in this sector over the years, earning descriptive accolades such as being ‘very adept in the industry and ‘the go to guy’. An authority in the oil and gas sector, he has not only influenced policies at the federal government level, but as well facilitates trainings and authors thought pieces on this area of law.
