Texas Lawyer spoke recently with Mike Blankenship, the managing partner at Winston & Strawn’s Houston office about the future of the Texas energy sector. Blankenship’s practice area is conventional and renewable electric power; infrastructure; and the upstream, midstream, downstream, and oilfield services segments of the oil and gas sector. We discussed where the Texas energy market stands today and what obstacles it faces in the coming years.

Can you provide a short summary of what the Texas energy market has undergone since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and bring us up to date?
