Teaching
Modern Practice in Petroleum Licensing (Restricted On-Campus)
Year by year the scale and diversity of investment in the upstream petroleum industry will grow. All co-operants, the representatives of the Host Government and the private landowners, as well as the International Oil Companies, the IOC's and moreover the Host Communities affected by the licensing process will need to have a comprehensive understanding of the geopolitical, legislative, contractual and regulatory matters that inform today's oil industry. Major new issues affecting all in the industry include the impact of Islamic Law and the growing demand for recognition of the rights of host communities. The aim of the module is to provide an introduction to these issues from the perspective of a practitioner.
The Regulation and Monitoring of the Upstream Petroleum Sector (Restricted On-Campus)
This module aims to provide students with practical knowledge and understanding of how governments monitor and regulate the upstream petroleum sector. It covers legal, institutional, technical and financial aspects of monitoring and regulation.
