Oil and Gas Agreements

Oil and Gas Agreements

The complexity of the oil and gas industries frequently results in projects being undertaken by joint ventures, alliances and other strategic groupings. Forming a successful alliance, whatever its format, is a complex process requiring a high degree of experience and expertise.

At this school Dennis Stickley, an international legal expert in petroleum law , will discuss with participants why parties come together in a cooperative endeavour to undertake a phase of a project, the legal forms they might use in so doing, the relationships created by the forms and the principle legal and commercial issues that affect those relationships.

The school will prove invaluable to CEOs, COOs and CFOs engaged in major new, ongoing and potential ventures in the oil and gas sector, and also to their internal and external legal advisers.

The course will cover:

The contract matrix in the oil & gas industry
Key agreements and examples of those agreements
The relationship matrix from a contractual and a corporate perspective
The legal principles that shadow relationships
Specific issues affecting relationships
