The Oil and Gas industry operates within a continuously challenging environment. It is driven by, and dependent upon people; process and technology. It is a capital intensive, high-risk industry – often with long payback periods. It is a truly global industry and one that operates in ever more challenging environments such as ultra-deepwater drilling and remote, harsh locations such as the Arctic. Cross-cultural dealings are the norm. National resources and the ability to change a country’s economic profile are often directly dependent upon the efficient extraction and exploitation of hydrocarbon resources. In short – it is a high stakes game – there is little room for error.

All of the commercial activities within the industry are governed by contractual agreements. A contract provides clarity and a defined scope of parties’ rights; duties and obligations. A contract often helps to define and manage stakeholder expectations. A contract provides recourse when a dispute breaks out.
