Attorneys at Thompson & Knight have more than 30 years of experience in handling all aspects of refinery and other downstream matters, including structuring, negotiating, and preparing contracts for commercial transactions. Our work includes the negotiation of crude oil supply and transportation agreements, tolling agreements, and offtake agreements. We assist refinery owners in land acquisitions and sales associated with refinery plant expansions, along with the creation of buffer zones surrounding the plant, and otherwise rationalizing the real property assets associated with the refinery. Our attorneys also represent clients in plant acquisitions and sales, project development and finance, environmental compliance, and joint ventures.
