    April 19, 2023

    As a major producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Sempra Infrastructure Partners has positioned itself as a leader in the global transition to more sustainable energy sources. LNG is a cleaner alternative to traditional energy sources and will serve as a critical bridge to a low-carbon future.

    Adding to its existing LNG projects in Mexico, California and Louisiana, Sempra Infrastructure Partners and ConocoPhillips are collaborating on the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project in Jefferson County, Texas. With disruptions in the energy markets due to geopolitical and other factors, this project will help support global energy security.

    S&C advised Sempra Infrastructure Partners on both the $7 billion project financing and the related sale of a non-controlling interest in the project to a KKR-managed infrastructure fund. In recent years, S&C has also advised Sempra on strategic financings to support the development of North American clean energy infrastructure.

    The S&C team advising on the project financing included Inosi Nyatta, Nick Baker, Virginia Cueva, Meng Yu and Nick Kinslow. Max Birke and Miriam Peter advised on German-law issues. Saul Brander and Eli Dubin advised on tax and ERISA matters. David Gilberg and Colin Lloyd advised on hedging matters. Mehdi Ansari and Matthew Rosenberg advised on intellectual property matters.

    The S&C team advising on the announced sale to KKR includes Brian Hamilton, Inosi Nyatta, Mimi Wu, Terence Olsen and Kevin Akrong. Joyce Kwok, Nick Baker and Nick Kinslow are advising on financing matters. Isaac Wheeler, Saul Brander and Tristan Hood are advising on tax matters. Mehdi Ansari and Matthew Rosenberg are advising on intellectual property matters. Juan Rodriguez and Axel Beckmerhagen are advising on global competition matters.
