Viewpoint Legal main focus in the Oil and Gas industry is in the downstream sector particularly in the arena of LNG, Petrochemicals and gas-to liquids projects continues to evolve. Liberalization within the gas sector in Europe, together with increasing gas demand in Europe, the US and Asia has led to the development of a number of LNG import projects as well as the expansion of liquefaction capacity in producing countries. In response to increased demand, the petrochemicals sector is also expanding particularly in the Middle East where the first gas-to- liquids projects are taking shape and Nigeria, an ever expanding market.
Projects within these sectors have significant funding demands and require specialist legal advisers.
