Gibson Dunn Advises SK Innovation on $1.05B Peruvian Gas Field Sale to Pluspetrol

South Korean oil and gas company SK Innovation Co. said Sept. 27 it agreed to sell its 17.6% stake in two natural gas fields in Peru to Argentina’s Pluspetrol for $1.05 billion.

SK E&P Co. in-house counsel Se Young (Sam) Jeong, who is based in Houston, led the transaction for SK. A graduate of the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, he worked with SK senior counsel Claudia Trevino internally and hired Gibson Dunn & Crutcher and Justin Stolte to lead the deal because he says he worked with Stolte on prior transactions.
