MAIN EVENTS
Dispute resolution
The Dispute Resolution workshops comprise presentations from
experts combined with case studies and Q & A to provide an
interactive environment that allows each participant to get
involved in understanding and debating the issues. The faculty and
panels are made up of legal and commercial experts from
international oil companies, international law firms, advisory firms,
National Oil Companies and multinational institutions.
Seminar Series on Model Contracts
Each workshop will be limited to no more than 35 participants to
enable the opportunity for a high level of interaction and problem
solving for each participant. The SSMC workshops will be hands
on interactive workshops with the emphasis on engaging each
participant in direct problem solving in the practical use and
application of the AIPN Model Contracts in practice. The
workshops will be run by experienced AIPN faculty who come from
a broad range of experience and backgrounds including faculty
from international oil companies, international law firms, advisory
firms, National Oil Companies and multinational organizations.
Sessions will cover: Joint Operating Agreement and Confidentiality
Agreement; Farmout Agreement and Unitization and Unit

Agreement; Joint Study and Bid Agreement and Consultant

Host Government Instruments
The Host Government Granting Instrument (HGI) sessions will
provide delegates with a solid understanding of all the major fiscal
and contractual regimes used by oil and gas producing nations
around the world to incentivize exploration and production,
including concessions, production sharing contracts and
service/risk sharing contracts. Delegates will learn the legal and
economic underpinnings of each contractual model, and engage
in exercises and mock negotiations with international oil and gas
companies and host governments implementing the most
frequently used HGIs. Attendees will learn what motivates
governments and industry participants and how to encourage, and
discourage, investment in the upstream sector in their countries.
Attendees will also develop an understanding and appreciation of
various models utilized around the world to enable them to
compare and contrast various external investment opportunities.
