This workshop will provide an introduction to Australian Oil and Gas Law.
The workshop examines the fundamentals of Australian oil and gas law. Topics covered may include:
- the legal nature and protection of oil and gas exploration and production rights, both generally and in Australia
- the Australian regulatory and licensing regime
- control of operations
- operating and other agreements
- infrastructure issues
- regulation of downstream operations including gas codes
- fiscal arrangements.
The workshop will be accessible not only to lawyers entering the field, but also to those already concerned with oil and gas issues, government officials, resource company personnel, and others who seek an understanding of the legal context in which issues arise.
The workshop will be led by John Chandler, Associate Director of the Centre for Mining, Energy and Natural Resources Law. Other participants will include:
- Professor Terence Daintith, who is Professor of Law at the UWA, a consulting editor of Daintith, Willoughby and Hills United Kingdom Oil and Gas Law (3 vols), and founding editor of the Journal of Energy and Natural Resources Law.
- Members of the Resources and Energy Law Association (AMPLA)
- Members of the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators (AIPN) Australia/Asia chapter
- Other leading specialists in oil and gas law drawn from private practice and in-house counsel.
A full set of reading materials will be distributed in advance of each module.
Plenary sessions, in the form of lectures interspersed with class discussion, will be supplemented by small-group sessions examining in greater detail concrete or topical problems in the framing or application of the law.
