Description

This work contains a detailed analysis and description of international and regional conventions, multilateral and bilateral agreements, national laws and regulations, official statements and policy documents, licences, contracts and commercial co-operation agreements concerning the search for and exploitation of petroleum reservoirs.

This text offers a detailed and accessible analysis of these complex issues and provides essential reading for international consultants and legal professionals negotiating and devising regulatory and co-operative aspects of petroleum operations and for geologists, petroleum engineers and others in charge of petroleum ventures and joint ventures.
