Overview
Nigerian oil and gas lawyers are increasingly called upon by clients from civil law jurisdictions across Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, and South America to help negotiate and structure joint operating agreements. Because agreements concerning oil and gas upstream activities have historically been developed in common law jurisdictions, a growing concern for the petroleum industry is that some upstream investment might not be enforceable in a civil law jurisdiction to the extent the same standards/concepts are used without any adaptation. This is why it is essential to understand and analyse how to implement a Joint Operating Agreement in civil law countries.
This book offers a new abundance of practical considerations, from 22 civil law countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East and South America, on the enforceability issues in a wide variety of civil law jurisdictions likely to be conducting joint operations among two or more parties. The country-by-country analysis helps greatly in ensuring that such issues and topics as the following will be covered in a contract subject to civil law:
- Obligations and liabilities
- Relationship of the parties
- Exclusive operations
- Assignment
- Default
- Force Majeure
- Hardship; and
- Host granting instruments
It analyses the main issues that the petroleum industry and its investors might face in civil law jurisdictions with actual or potential large oil and gas reserves, and as such it is a unique and immensely valuable source of information and guidance for oil and gas law practitioners, legal counsel, and business and commercial negotiators involved in transnational operating agreements around the world.
