Mr Kirk Morgan
Work Department
Energy
Position
Kirk Morgan’s practice focuses on complex energy issues, but clients can count on him to make things understandable and be commercially minded. Kirk provides strategic advice to oil and gas pipelines and project developers with respect to jurisdictional issues, rate options, capacity allocation methodologies, regulated practices, and business opportunities. He is regularly called upon by pipeline clients and developers regarding new infrastructure projects, including greenfield pipelines and expansion projects. This requires him to lead clients through the process of preparing open season materials, negotiating and drafting precedent and transportation agreements, and preparing tariffs. Kirk also works closely with clients to obtain regulatory approvals required for new pipeline infrastructure.
Education
