Course Summary
The oil and gas industry worldwide is constantly changing. This makes securing a contract a minefield and makes it important to stay updated with changes to legal contracts and agreements. Contract managers, commercial managers, and lawyers should agree on contract changes and consider the benefits for all parties entering an Upstream Gas and Oil contract.
This involves examining the differences between the main contractual terms and what changes mean for the overall market and localised companies. When dealing with global operations, the contractual terms must protect all parties and remain within the laws and regulations set down by each country.
As a contract stakeholder, it is important to assess the company's benefits, predicted forecasts for change, and possibilities created by production-sharing contracts. From a regulation perspective, it’s critical to understand the legal Explorations & Production Agreement (E&P) and related licensing agreements. This protects all parties involved in the contract and helps manage disputes if they arise later.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the relevant regulations regarding petroleum contracts.
- Develop a working knowledge of the bidding and tendering process.
- Create a beneficial sharing contract.
- Understand negligence can affect your legal standing.
- Develop key contractual terms that work for all parties.
- Understand the legal implications of decision-making outside of the agreement.
- Draft mutually beneficial service agreements.
- Develop a risk assessment to aid contract management.
- Provide relevant case information to support contractual change.
- Negotiate with supply chains to create a robust workstream without legal disputes.
- Develop legal contracts that abide by exploration and exploitation agreements and operate within a licensing agreement.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for petroleum contract management or procedural change, which may require legal re-writes or support. It would be most beneficial for:
- Contract Managers
- Business Owners
- Supply Chain Managers
- Lawyers
- Procurement Managers
- Legal Advisers in Gar & Oil
- Contract Engineers
- Contract & Bid Writers
This course uses various adult learning techniques to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will watch videos and participate in interactive presentations to learn the legal requirements for various types of petroleum contracts.
Each team will review real-world contract examples and work to uncover potential risk areas which should be the focus of future development. They will conduct role-playing activities to increase communication and negotiation skills and ensure a positive working relationship for all parties. They will be presented with resourcing requirements to understand the techniques and tactics for creating a positive supply chain partnership.
