Introduction

The upstream oil and gas sector is a multifaceted industry that demands interdisciplinary engagement. Producing crude oil and natural gas from subterranean rock formations to the marketing outlet necessitates a series of phase operations that cost the running businesses hundreds of millions of dollars. The oil and gas industry, like any other, uses a wide variety of contracts.

Investors in the private sector require the permission of the government of the country where they want to conduct oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) operations on land or in the ocean. Upstream contracts describe the legal, commercial, and operating interactions between oil and gas E&P corporations and the government. This Solid State Solutions’ Upstream Oil and Gas Contracts training course is meant to be extremely practical, with practical learning experiential sessions to assist attendees to grasp the actual challenges at hand and the traps to avoid.
