Course summary

In this course you will learn how governments regulate the oil industry. You will study the rules and regulations set out by producer governments dealing with oil and gas investors, and how the concerns of investors are dealt with.

You will also learn about:


  • comparing the legal structure of each transfer and its practical result
  • risk sharing mechanisms amongst investors

  • the contractual matrix surrounding oil and gas production projects
  • the tax structures for resource and corporate taxes
