Please join us in New Orleans in February for this one-of-a-kind comprehensive course on the federal offshore leasing program. Last offered in 2018, this program is a unique opportunity for lawyers, landmen, and regulators to hone their knowledge of the complex legal framework governing this vital part of the nation’s energy industry.
This course focuses on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, the Department of the Interior’s regulation of the offshore oil and gas industry, and the primary agreements used in offshore oil and gas operations. The roles of other federal statutes and agencies will also be addressed. This course will be taught by practicing attorneys, Interior representatives, and others who are involved with offshore oil and gas operations on a daily basis. Topics include the jurisdictional battle over offshore oil and gas rights, Interior’s offshore leasing program, lease maintenance, assignments of offshore leases, the substantive law of coastal states as “surrogate” federal law, decommissioning liability, bonding, offshore bankruptcy issues, enforcement, administrative appeals, and more.
