Energy security, investment protection and future developments

18 September 2008 - 19 September 2008

Energy security is at the top of today’s global agenda, and protection of investments is key to building energy security in today’s increasingly international world. The Energy Charter Treaty, with its 51 member states, plays a major role in guaranteeing energy security within the Eurasian region. Since the Treaty came into force 10 years ago, at least 18 investment arbitration cases – including the noted Yukos and Libananco claims – have been initiated on the basis of the Treaty’s powerful investment promotion and protection provisions. This Conference is therefore a timely occasion to review the Treaty’s achievements, its strong points and its limitations.

Producing oil remote from infrastructure is not too much of an issue - you stick it in a tanker, it is fairly stable and you can easily ship it to a refinery or market. Gas is more complicated - it is extremely unstable in its natural state and needs extensive processing to make it safe for transportation. These processes are not easy to do on a floating platform the middle of the ocean. But, in order to get at the oil you first have to do something with the gas. Associated Gas 2010 is aimed at oil field developers who have to find a way to deal with the gas, avoiding costly delays.

2nd Annual Renewable Finance & Infrastructure Summit (REFIS)

The pledges made by the European governments to promote the development of renewable energy sources have been brought about by the combined pressure of many objective factors, from the need for improved energy security, to dangerous levels of pollution from fossil fuels and economic aims, such as job creation in these tougher times. Nevertheless, there are other factors that often impede the implementation of these pledges. National budget cuts, changed financing from the market, uncertainty in policy matters, a lack of clear tendencies and several other issues are still preventing the kind of smooth project flow that would allow the European objectives to be met.

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania,

This Master Class will be led by David Moroney, a partner in the London office of Fulbright & Jaworski International LLP, one of the world's leading energy law firms. The purpose of a PSC is to facilitate the finding and commercialisation of deposits of oil and gas. However, production sharing is not the only regime used for that purpose, nor, within a production sharing regime, is the PSC the only instrument used; and, as with all such regimes, production sharing, and each individual PSC, exists within a historical, geopolitical and legal framework, and a global market, that informs its principles and its detailed implementation. It is imperative for relevant executives in both government and private sectors to understand the ever-changing impact of these forces on the PSC, and the PSC's position and role among the many key factors needed for successful oil and gas commercialisation.

The European Gas Policy Forum 2012. Shale Gas: Supporting security of supply and climate action in Europe?

3 October 2012
Brussels, Belgium,

The debate around shale gas development in Europe remains in its infancy, however it is seen by many as a “game-changer” in terms of energy security, tackling climate change and in facilitating the development of renewables (as a best places partner). However figures quoting actual shale gas reserves continue to be subject to claim and counter claim, while politically, no common approach is in place, or perhaps likely. This conference will examine what potential future legislation might look like in respect of shale gas and will debate whether the lack of a common approach will damage shale development in Europe. It will also explore which countries offer the best opportunities for shale gas in Europe, while international perspectives will provide insights into the role shale may play as part of the global energy scene.

International Boundary Disputes and Unitization in E&P 2012

17 October 2012 - 18 October 2012
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam,

Following the ASEAN-China landmark deal on the Guidelines on the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, cooperation looms.

As the search for new E&P ventures continues boundary disputes between E&P concession blocks and across borders are becoming more common. Operation in contested regions involves high risk and a delicate balance of legal, technical and commercial/financial expertise to discuss this kind of questions: - How do you operate in different fiscal and regulatory regimes? - How do you achieve delimitation to start new activities in disputed regions? - What do you do when mediation fails - all the way to the ICJ, is this even effective?

International Boundary Disputes and Unitization in E&P 2013

Manila, Philippines,

Following the ASEAN-China landmark deal on the Guidelines on the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, cooperation looms.

As the search for new E&P ventures continues boundary disputes between E&P concession blocks and across borders are becoming more common. Operation in contested regions involves high risk and a delicate balance of legal, technical and commercial/financial expertise to discuss this kind of questions: - How do you operate in different fiscal and regulatory regimes? - How do you achieve delimitation to start new activities in disputed regions? - What do you do when mediation fails - all the way to the ICJ, is this even effective?

Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Turnkey: Project Risk, Contract and Insurance

2 December 2013 - 3 December 2013
Bangkok, Thailand,

As the financing of construction projects becomes increasingly difficult, so the EPC model is increasingly being turned to as a mechanism for completing construction works on time and within budget. This is particularly so in large scale infrastructure projects such as telecommunications, power, gas, water and transport contracts. While EPC contracts are becoming the norm for delivering these large scale infrastructure projects, they are not without risk for both employer and contractor. Contractors in particular may be unwilling to assume the increased risk which EPC contracts place on them. Or, if they do assume this risk they may well price the risk into their contract, leading to increased costs for all. A complicating factor in any discussion of EPC contracts is that there are various names given to these contracts, sometimes inaccurately. Learn all about it during this workshop.

Ankara, Turkey,

TUROGE is the best-attended oil and gas event in Turkey. It brings together major players in the industry, and presents an important networking opportunity for the regional and international oil and gas community. Turkey’s growing energy demands are estimated to rise from 53,000 to 100,000 megawatts by 2030. This growth, along with the country’s favorable geographical location as a transit hub for transporting oil and gas from Russia to the Caspian Region, and the Middle East to Europe, shows that the local oil and gas market is still lucrative for foreign investors. The domestic energy sector is one of the most attractive investment areas in Turkey’s fast-developing economy. Newly planned infrastructure, including pipeline, ports and shipping services which will be developed over the next 20 years will significantly boost this sector, and create new business opportunities in the petrol and natural gas sector.

Bid and Tender Management

15 May 2014 - 16 May 2014
Singapore,

Contracts for goods and services are won by the smallest of margins. The use of value based assessment, in both the public and private sectors, to identify the most economically advantageous tender has led to much debate over the selection of appropriate quality and price ratios for specific projects and the evaluation of both quality and price by procurers. It isn't unusual for tender documents to be routinely drafted on a "cut & paste" basis and thus may contain provisions that are inappropriate or unreasonably favour one party or the other, which can lead to problems and disputes during project implementation. This workshop will provide an insight into the need for procurers to produce accurate & robust documentation and tender schedules which meet the procurement constraints, and how bidders can implement smart procurement & pricing techniques to gain competitive advantage at tender submission stage & commercial benefits during delivery of the contract. 6% discount for OGEL members

Commercial Series in Oil and Gas

31 May 2015 - 3 June 2015
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates,

Although the price of oil has dropped significantly in recent months the reality is that it will not affect the rate of production in the GCC countries. However operators need to ensure that they are cautious by isolating areas of overspend and wastage through effective procurement strategies. They also need to ensure that contracts take into considerations risk early in the project cycle, to reduce unexpected risk. In light of this, IQPC has put together the Commercial Series in Oil and Gas (31 May -3 June 2015, Abu Dhabi) that will include a three day conference covering procurement, contracts and project finance in the hydrocarbon industry and a workshop providing in depth sessions on cost reduction strategies, managing and enforcing robust contracts whilst minimising risk, and project finance prospects and advantages for Middle East region.

Executive Training on Investment Arbitration for Government Officials

13 July 2015 - 17 July 2015
Columbia University, New York,

Treaty-based investor-state arbitrations have been on the rise, affecting a growing number of countries each year. Due to several features of investment arbitration, it can be exceedingly difficult for states to understand the strengths and weaknesses of claims or defenses, develop and implement their own litigation strategies, or internalize lessons from past decisions in order to avoid future disputes. Moreover, even when states win cases, defending the disputes can be costly, drawing officials’ attention away from important matters, generating millions of dollars in litigation expenses, and causing governments reputational harm. Through a week-long course, government officials involved in managing investment treaty disputes or negotiating investment treaties will increase their knowledge of crucial procedural and substantive aspects of investment law. Sessions will be taught by leading academics and practitioners. The application deadline to be considered for admission is April 15.

English Law and its Use in Petroleum Contracts

13 October 2016 - 14 October 2016
Houston, TX, USA,

English law is the most popular choice of a 'neutral' law for petroleum contracts. English law is widely used to govern many kinds of petroleum contracts internationally, even where a particular project or its parties have no particular connection to England. But care must be taken to avoid the consequences of the inexpert application of English law to a petroleum contract. This unique seminar explains the key aspects of English law as it is applied specifically in relation to modern commercial petroleum contracts, such as upstream, midstream and downstream projects, joint ventures, M&A activities, commodity sales and oilfield services. The seminar is presented in two related parts: Session One gives an introduction to the essential legal underpinnings of English law; and Session Two considers the application of English law to the commercial arrangements most typically used in petroleum contracts. The conference will be conducted by Peter Roberts, partner at Orrick-London.

USAEE/IAEE 34th North American Conference

23 October 2016 - 27 October 2016
Tulsa, Oklahoma, US,

North America, if not the United States alone, is expected by many to soon be energy self-sufficient. Horizontal drilling, coupled with hydraulic fracturing, reversed the downward trend in production of both crude oil and natural gas. As a result, the lower-48 U.S. will be exporting natural gas by the time we meet in Tulsa. The debate over crude oil exports from the U.S. will likely still be raging. The production turnaround has shaken world energy markets, and the operation of our energy markets produced substantial reductions in CO2 emissions through economic substitution from coal to natural gas in power generation. When we add advances in renewables and the promise of industrial-capacity battery systems, the potential for North American energy self-sufficiency appears to be on the near horizon. So, the focus of the Conference will be to provide a constructive and collegial forum for extensive debate and discussion, based on solid research and evidence...

Bridging the Climate Change Policy Gap

21 November 2016
Stockholm, Sweden,

The Paris Agreement recognizes that meeting the climate change mitigation goals, and achieving the necessary reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, will require investments of staggering magnitude. The Agreement also recognizes the importance of private sector actors in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and encourages governments to incentivize such actors. And the private sector stand ready to contribute. But the Paris Agreement lacks clear and direct provisions on how to generate and support the needed investments. And, importantly, it does not include an enforcement mechanism. There appears to be a policy gap. Do we need additional legal instruments to bridge this policy gap, and to fulfil the promise of Paris? Can international law be used to fill the gap, and to generate and support green investments? And could international arbitration be used to safeguard such investments and enforce global climate change mitigation goals?

WU Energy Series on Joint Operating Agreements: Legal, Finance and Operation

28 November 2016 - 29 November 2016
Vienna, Austria,

Joint ventures (JVs) are common practice for parties with a shared interest in exploring and exploiting crude oil and gas. Naturally, the establishment of JVs poses significant challenges of contractual, legal, financial and operational nature, among others. Joint operating agreements (JOAs) serve as a baseline-framework to regulate JVs in the oil and gas industry. JOAs have undergone decades of modifications but nowadays many regions prefer to follow a standard model form in order to speed up the negotiation process and to provide accepted practices. As much as the literature provides JV publications that explain the nature of JVs, the main provisions for a JOA and the non-operators' views and consequences of a sole risk project, it lacks analyses that condense key practical concerns to a single publication. TOPICS: * Raising capital; * Function and purpose; * Negotiation; * Preparation; * Marketing strategies; * Default and economic risks; * and more. Discount for OGEL members.

Brexit: What does it mean to the EU and UK's energy sector?

7 March 2017
London, UK,

The UK referendum decision to leave the European Union has created significant uncertainty for the UK and EU energy sectors. The UK's expected departure from the EU has raised questions concerning the UK's 2020 renewable energy commitments, UK access to the single EU energy market and the EU’s commitment to market liberalisation. Brexit may also undermine the investment outlook and places greater pressure on the remaining 27 EU Member States to meet the 2030 renewable and energy efficiency targets. This seminar will address Brexit's significance for the energy sector in both the UK and EU, including legal aspects. Speaker: Ana Stanič is recognised as one of the UK’s foremost thought leaders in EU law, international law and arbitration. She is an English Solicitor Advocate and an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Dundee.

ILI training: Modern Petroleum Revenue Management

24 April 2017 - 28 April 2017
Washington DC,

Governments in petroleum economies seek to maximize revenue receipts and limit the consequences of uncertainty and instability in actual cash flows resulting from product price or volume disparity from forecast. Global experience indicates that there are a variety of alternatives to share petroleum revenues between the host government and investors. In general, there is a trade-off between revenue maximization and exposure to risk. Systems which seek to balance these between a government and investor have historically led to reservoir maximization and efficiency. Govs have adopted the use of revenue funds to stabilize highly volatile petroleum rents; to save for future generations; or to guard against budget shortfalls. More recently, governments have recognized the need to better share petroleum wealth with local communities, especially those disrupted by petroleum operations. Course can be combined with "NATURAL GAS DEVELOPMENT" (MAY 1-5). Advisors: Mrs. G. Sabahi & Mr. R. Lesnick

West Africa has a population of 362 million which is set to grow by 2.2% per year as of 2016, this gives the region a ranking of No.2 most populous by sub-region on the continent. The economic growth for the region is expected to be 4.6% (2015-2016) compared to 6% (2010-2014) mainly attributed to the decline in oil price, but as we all know, the main inhibitor to growth on the African continent is down to the access to reliable and cost effective power supply for homes and businesses.

Gas and LNG Supply Contracts Forum

20 June 2018 - 21 June 2018
Berlin, Germany,

For the past 7 years, C5's Long Term Gas Supply Contracts: Europe has become the most established event for senior stakeholders to network and develop their knowledge on developments, tips and pitfalls of negotiating and re-negotiating Long Term Gas Supply Contracts. This year, having listened to considerable feedback from the market, and in order to ensure the event continues to be relevant and attractive to delegates, we have taken the decision to update the name of the event to the Gas and LNG Supply Contracts Forum. As the European market has developed, it has seen a significant reduction in the number of long term contracts utilised for gas supply.

10th Anniversary Reception for OGEMID, Young-OGEMID and TDM

12 November 2018
Miami, Florida,

Prof. Thomas Wälde, the founder of OGEMID and TDM was both an academic and a practitioner. As such, he had a particular vision for OGEMID and TDM: that the discussion forum and publication should be both practically relevant and academically sound. While TDM should be seen as the leading online journal on int'l arbitration, mediation and ADR, and international investment law, OGEMID was to be a discussion forum in which all manner of views were welcomed, and where ideas, no matter how controversial, could be tested among experts in the community. Young-OGEMID then developed to address the particular needs of junior, junior academics and law students. In the 10 years since Thomas passed, his vision has been expertly taken forward and further shaped by a committed team. This reception is both to celebrate the last 10 years of OGEMID, Young-OGEMID and TDM, and to invite you to engage in an open conversation at the reception as to how they might develop over the next 10.

24 May 2019
Copenhagen, Denmark,

Call for papers deadline: 12 April 2019. About the conference: For more than 150 years, oil has fuelled economies across the globe. With a fast-paced technological development, a population boom and a hunger for resources, which have increased consumption of fossil fuels, it is no wonder that more and more oil and gas fields are in their maturity phase and are rapidly approaching or have already entered the depletion phase.
