BKC has the knowledge and expertise to advise multinational oil companies seeking to establish subsidiaries in Nigeria in order to operate Joint Ventures with the Nigerian government through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC] for upstream and downstream operations in order to exploit the vast oil deposits and gas reserves to be found in Nigeria’s Niger-Delta basin.
Areas in which the firm’s specialist legal expertise can be provided include both upstream and downstream activities such as upstream gas liquefaction projects (LNG,LPG, buthanisation etc.), downstream gas supply and distribution agreements; the petroleum products marketing sub-sector which is now much more privatised; and the allocation of fresh oil acreages in Nigeria’s deep offshore.
