Petroleum Law
Advising across the petroleum lifecycle, from licensing to decommissioning.
Overview
Our petroleum lawyers specialise in the legal framework that regulates petroleum activities. They have extensive experience as in-house lawyers in large and smaller oil companies, on both the operator side and the licensee side.
Zest Partners assists in all matters relating to petroleum activities: from the application for a production licence, through exploration, development and production, up to and including decommissioning and removal.
