Oil and Gas

Our oil and gas lawyers in Mozambique  have been engaged in every aspect of the industry working across the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors. 

We have advised international oil companies, sponsors and lenders on a broad range of matters, including: acquisitions and disposals, farm-ins and farm-outs, joint ventures and joint operating agreements (JOAs), financings, sale and supply arrangements, storage, trading, transportation, fracking and liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Experience has included advising:

  • The lenders on the project finance for a 40 MW gas-fired power plant in Mozambique.
  • A large mining company on financing through debt and equity.
  • A global top-10 company in a farm-in transaction in Area 4 of the Rovuma Basin.
  • The lenders on the project finance for a 175 MW gas-fired power plant in Mozambique.
  • A global top-three independent oil company, to bid, negotiate and execute three engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning contracts (EPCCs) in Mozambique out of the 5th licensing round.
  • A global top-three independent oil company, in a USD3 billion farm-in transaction in a top-five certified natural gas reserve.
  • A client, acting as a local project counsel for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Mozambique.
  • An independent oil company, to negotiate and obtain a legal and contractual regime for the development of 125 trillion cubic feet (Tfc) of natural gas in Mozambique.

“The firm is well-known for its work on natural resource projects, specifically in the oil and gas and mining sectors. Additionally, the firm has this year worked on a number of deals in the power sector, working on the financing of major gas fire and hydropower developments as lenders and borrowers council respectively. Though the firm’s clients are confidential, they include a large number of multinational oil and gas and mining companies.”
