Recently he has advised on a series of high profile deals including CNOOC and Shell Petrochemical's $4.3 billion development and financing of the CSPC Nanhai petrochemicals project in China in 2002 and Qalhat LNG S.A.O.C on its development and $688 million financing of an LNG project in the Sultanate of Oman in 2004.
