Oil & Gas Law
The exploration, production, refining, storing, transportation and distribution of oil and gas and ancillary petroleum products begin with complex negotiations of leases, licenses, Production Sharing Agreements, royalties, unitization, pooling, which require profound understanding of the legal implications of these complex terms and conditions, and their complex inter-relations. An understanding of the actors and their various roles also determine the particular type of agreement that would be best for them, to avoid disputes or resolve disputes when they arise.
Every aspect of the process has specific and complicated chain of operations that require a complicated collaboration of different operators, to complete a major operation. All these require specific contracts to be negotiated, reviewed, drafted, and reviewed periodically, as new aspects of the operations come up or the parent operations evolve.
We assist resource holders and oil companies in the acquisition and conveyance of oil and gas resources, either the lease, license or the production sharing agreement, depending on the contracting parties. We ensure that royalties payments of contract bonuses are properly calculated and paid to the beneficiaries; with and specific emphasis on indigenous resource holders and the quality of negotiations that should be carried with them prior to commencement and during the production of the wells within their territories.
Our services have been tailored to meet the contracting and operational requirements of the services in the upstream, downstream, and midstream operations; taking into considerations the key players in each service sector, and the complex interdependence on different service providers with different contractual needs, to ensure that all operators, contractors, agents complete their services in a timely manner to avoid disputes. We pay particular attention on contracts negotiations, drafting, reviews, Licenses, leases, surface rights negotiations, resolution of disputes, and general dealings with subcontractors, agents and service providers.
