Course Overview
The upstream oil and gas sector is a multifaceted industry that demands interdisciplinary engagement. Producing crude oil and natural gas from subterranean rock formations to the marketing outlet necessitates a series of phase operations that cost the running businesses hundreds of millions of dollars. The oil and gas industry, like any other, uses a wide variety of contracts. The requirement to spread economic risks and the dispersed control of oil and gas assets make these contractual arrangements inevitable. Oil and gas companies have employed a variety of contracts to jointly use Oil and gas while dividing up the associated risks and available resources.
What are Upstream Oil and Gas Contracts? Investors in the private sector require the permission of the government of the country where they want to conduct oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) operations on land or in the ocean. Upstream contracts describe the legal, commercial, and operating interactions between oil and gas E&P corporations and the government.
Why are Upstream Contract Management Activities Crucial? Countries with abundant natural resources often export their resources to generate income for national development projects. Many nations achieve this by signing contracts with multinational corporations to extract and export their oil and gas. To maximise the return on investment from a country’s natural resources, the proper contract must be negotiated. Exploration and production (E&P) activities in the oil and gas industry are expensive, dangerous, and technology-intensive. It’s essential to make the best use of limited resources, optimize strategies, costs, and capital, and boost company performance across the board in the E&P industry. This is facilitated by effective Upstream Oil and Gas contract activity.
