International Petroleum Law and Transactions
Owen L. Anderson | Jacqueline L. Weaver | John S. Dzienkowski | John S. Lowe | Keith B. Hall | Frédéric Gilles Sourgens
This new book is an essential reference for lawyers, negotiators, commercial investors, regulatory agencies, and the many international governmental and nongovernmental organizations concerned with oil and gas development. Building on its predecessor, International Petroleum Transactions 3d ed., this extensively revised, reorganized, and updated volume can serve as the primary text for courses in international petroleum policy, law, and commerce, whether taught in law, business, economics, geology, or engineering schools. Links throughout the book allow readers to pursue updated information, and purchasers have access to curated, timely updates on the Foundation’s website. The book provides the tools to analyze and understand both current international petroleum arrangements and the types of agreements and issues that continue to emerge. It addresses the following topics:
- Overview of key players in the industry, petroleum geology, and reservoir management
- Sovereignty over petroleum resources and resolution of territorial and boundary disputes
- Governing law and extraterritoriality of U.S. law, focusing on anti-bribery laws
- Host government petroleum codes, contracts, and fiscal terms
- Oil spills, offshore safety systems, and decommissioning
- Sustainable development: indigenous rights, human rights, and community impacts
- Political risk, investment treaties, sovereign immunity, and dispute resolution
- Intra-industry contracts, including joint operating, confidentiality, and farmout agreements
- Seismic, drilling, and well-services contracts, risk management, and allocation of risk
- Crude oil, natural gas, and LNG transport and marketing
- Future of petroleum industry and challenges of climate change
“IPLT is an exquisitely organized and richly detailed summary of the petroleum industry and its technology, laws, economics, and agreements. As such, it serves as both a one-stop textbook for international petroleum transaction (“IPT”) courses as well as an authoritative desk guide for practitioners and policy makers.” Norman Nadorff, Counsel, Mayer Brown; Adjunct Professor, University of Houston Law Center and Distinguished Practitioner in Residence, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.
