Myles Culhane Joins Greenberg Traurig in Sacramento as Shareholder
"Myles Culhane joins Greenberg Traurig in Sacramento as a shareholder to bolster the firm's energy transition and carbon capture (CCUS) practice."
Culhane brings more than 30 years of experience advising on complex energy and environmental projects with a particular focus on carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS). He joins Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder, arriving from Occidental Petroleum Corporation (Oxy), where he served as in-house counsel for the last 15 years and most recently held the role of deputy general counsel beginning in 2023. During his tenure at Oxy, Culhane served as the corporation’s senior environmental counsel, worked with technical and business teams to develop Oxy’s Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) program, and managed legal compliance obligations and federal and state enforcement actions. His recent work concentrated on expanding the use of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in enhanced oil recovery (CO2‑EOR) to produce low‑carbon crude and enable companies to maintain eligibility for federal 45Q tax credits, and he led legal strategy for the first UIC Class VI permits issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 and the Railroad Commission of Texas.
Culhane’s practice encompasses the full spectrum of energy transformation legal work, including structuring projects to manage long‑term liability, secure financing, and withstand regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny. He holds a B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and a J.D. from Loyola Law School.
