OMAN OIL COMPANY EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION LLC (OOCEP)

About

Oman Oil Company Exploration and Production (OOCEP) was recently named as the fastest growing oil and gas company in the Middle East by a mining industry publication. It has therefore been very busy expanding, particularly in terms of optimising, growing and enhancing its portfolio of assets. Richard McLaughlin, general counsel since 2014, leads a team of three lawyers and two other staff members.

The team has worked on numerous production sharing projects, joint operations, gas sales, farm-outs, complex and high value acquisitions and disposals in the last year as part of this expansion. McLaughlin identifies senior legal counsel Jonathan Mackenzie, as a key member of the team. He says that ‘Mackenzie joined OOCEP around two years ago and has been a key member of the team, particularly on the transactional side. He interacts with major IOC’s and Government agencies. [He] has many years’ experience advising oil and gas companies internationally, including the North Sea, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. He has previously worked for Conoco Phillips, BG Group and Santos and has acted on numerous complex, high value oil and gas transactions’. The fast growth rate of OOCEP has meant a high level of legal activity and the opportunity to lead and work on some of the biggest oil and gas transactions in the region. And with talented legal minds comprising the team, the legal department at OOCEP is expected to continue its prolific achievements in the near future.
