<p>This module offers you the opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of legal and regulatory framework governing transnational oil and gas exploration and production ventures. As part of the syllabus, you will study the historical background to the development of the international petroleum industry, and the role and function of legal concepts in regulating the contractual relationship between multinational petroleum enterprises and host states with reference to licensing, leases, titles, and ownership rights. The evolution of oil and gas contracts from traditional concession agreements to present-day service contracts will be examined. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal character of international oil and gas exploration covering the three sectors of the oil and gas production chain (upstream, midstream, and downstream). You will also be able to critically reflect on the contemporary problems of the oil and gas industry, together with the controversies surrounding investment arbitration as a mechanism for the resolution of international petroleum investment disputes.</p>
