Oil and gas are key drivers of the world economy and the technical, commercial and legal applications which support their exploitation are becoming increasingly sophisticated. This new title outlines in a single volume the essential principles involved in documenting oil and gas transactions, from the upstream exploration phase to transportation by pipeline and liquefied natural gas to sales and marketing. It is intended to be a practical guide for anyone seeking a better understanding of the commercial and legal principles involved. Edited by Geoffrey Picton-Turbervill, head of the global energy team at international law firm Ashurst in London, the book features contributions from leading practitioners including experts at Denton Wilde Sapte, Chadbourne & Parke, Shell and Lovells, among others. Whether you are a lawyer in private practice or in industry, a commercial negotiator or from a financial institution or energy advisory practice, this forthcoming title will provide a comprehensive insight into the oil and gas business.
