Upstream Oil & Gas
Stronachs’ Energy Team understands the upstream and mid-stream oil and gas industry and the needs of those involved – whether they be small independent operators, global majors or SMEs in the energy supply chain.
Our expertise reaches beyond advising on black letter law and covers key aspects of the industry’s legal and financial landscape, its commercial practices and contracting structures.
Our dedicated team of 12 energy practitioners advises all sizes of company whether involved in upstream, mid-stream, technology, manufacturing or oilfield service provision.
We are experts on issues in the UKCS and provide services across Europe, in Africa, the Americas, the Caspian, the Far East and the Middle East from our offices in Aberdeen and London.
Through industry-specific training, our solicitors have an understanding of many key disciplines and technologies including geoscience; drilling; project economics; design and project engineering; QHSE; logistics, marine and shipping. They understand the issues, can identify the risks and can provide the advice you need.
In a low oil price environment, more than ever, clients need quality service at a realistic price. Stronachs’ rates are competitive without us compromising on quality. According to the Legal 500 (2015) we are “extremely cost efficient” and we “punch above [our] weight in upstream commercial negotiations”.
Our team has produced four major publications on the energy sector - the only titles currently available which combine legal and technical oil and gas analysis. Developed together with a team of 126 industry experts, the three-volume Technical & Legal Guide to Global Hydrocarbons, and the Technical and Legal Guide to the UK Oil and Gas Industry are available from Aberlour Press.
