He represents petrochemical companies, refiners, storage and logistics companies, midstream developers and operators, exploration and production companies, project developers and financial investors on complex projects and transactions in the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors, as well as on tollways, bridges and other traditional infrastructure projects. Lee also has significant experience on energy transition projects, including carbon capture utilization and sequestration, renewable fuels, renewable natural gas, ammonia, hydrogen, helium and carbon offtake transactions.
