The firm’s Projects group is highly-experienced in the Jordanian energy and resources sector, specifically within the mining, oil and gas, and power and renewables projects.

Our clients include mining companies, oil and gas companies, power companies, commercial lenders, development banks, export credit agencies, the Government, project sponsors and contractors. We regularly advise the main fertilizers, chemicals and oil shale mining corporates on their various operations across the full range of issues that apply to the sector.

Jordan has limited oil and gas resources. Nevertheless, the firm has substantial experience in the sector through the representation of many of the foreign oil companies that have obtained concessions to explore for oil. With the recent discovery of high oil shale deposits in Jordan, the firm has been advising several oil shale mining companies with respect to the negotiation and operation of their concessions.

The Government of Jordan has privatised most of the power generation and distribution sector and the firm has been involved in the process with most of the projects, representing the Government, project sponsors, financiers. The firm has advised international clients and financiers on various conventional oil and gas, renewables, oil shale and nuclear power generation projects.
