Energy Lending

Winstead’s energy finance attorneys have represented money-center, regional and community banks and borrowers in energy debt financing transactions in all sectors of the energy industry.  Transactions throughout the U.S., Canada, offshore Gulf of Mexico and Native American reservations lands include reserve-based loans and related title due diligence, midstream financings and related analysis of pipeline marketing and transportation agreements, refinery project financing, oilfield services financing, onshore and offshore drilling rig financing, and the acquisition, construction and operation of marine vessels.

Our work includes oil and gas pipeline tariff, contract and regulatory matters, including handling matters before the Railroad Commission of Texas and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

We frequently conduct training sessions on all aspects of oil and gas finance for the energy departments of money-center and regional banks.  Winstead is an active member of the Loan Syndications and Trading Association, and a number of our finance attorneys are licensed in New York, which is the jurisdiction of choice in large syndicated lending transactions.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
