Call for Papers: OGEL Special Issue on the "Regulation of Petroleum Development in Guyana"

4 June 2019

Oil, Gas and Energy Law Intelligence (OGEL, ISSN 1875-418X, www.ogel.org) invites submissions for a Special issue focusing on the regulation of energy resources development in Guyana. The editors for this issue are Dr Daria Shapovalova (Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen) and Aaron M. Cooper (Lecturer at Coventry University).

In 2015, Guyana announced a major discovery of oil offshore, with more substantial discoveries made in the following years. It is now expected to become one of the top oil producers in the Western Hemisphere, with a prediction of almost a four-fold GDP rise by 2025. This newly found resources bring with them an opportunity for an economic boost for the country's public sector but have also raised concerns over the institutional preparedness for such a big development. In recent years, scholar, practitioners, and commentators discussed ways to avoid a 'resource curse' in Guyana, giving recommendation on taxation, wealth distribution, and governance transparency. Concerns have also been raised about the robustness of the environmental risk regulation of the upcoming offshore development and potential disputes with the neighbouring coastal States.

This OGEL Special Issue seeks to examine the current debate on the regulation of petroleum development in Guyana. In particular, we are interested in contributions in the following areas:

  • Contractual arrangements for petroleum development
  • Petroleum fiscal regime
  • Petroleum tax regulation
  • Safety and environmental regulation for offshore petroleum development
  • Compatibility of the petroleum development with Guyana's climate goals
  • Human dimension: regulation of social impacts of offshore petroleum development

Papers outside of these topics but associated with the broad subject of the call will also be considered. Papers should be submitted by to the editors directly with the subject line 'OGEL Guyana'.
