Dispute Resolution and Case Studies

The Mastering Oil and Gas Contracts, Negotiations and Dispute Resolutions training course begins with the legal and commercial framework governing oil and gas agreements, including contract formation, principal industry contract types and the roles of the parties involved. It then examines the structure and interpretation of key contractual provisions, with attention to performance obligations, payment, liability, indemnities, insurance, force majeure, termination and the allocation of contractual risk across host government, joint venture, operational and service arrangements.

The agenda then progresses to the preparation and conduct of contract negotiations, covering negotiation stages, objectives, positions, interests, strategies, tactics and the management of difficult issues between parties. Its final emphasis is on the prevention and resolution of contractual disputes, moving from claims and direct negotiation to mediation, arbitration and litigation. The course also addresses dispute resolution clauses, applicable law, jurisdiction, arbitral procedures and the recognition and enforcement of decisions within the context of international oil and gas contracts.
