Oil and Gas Production Contracts

Anthony Jenkins has managed to squeeze into a seemingly small volume the distilled expertise of many leading practitioners in the field of production contracts in the oil and gas sector. The most remarkable feature of the book is that anyone not accustomed with the vagaries of oil and gas law can go through it with relative ease and familiarise oneself with the relevant operations involved and the contractual options available, as well as some of the difficulties inherent thereto. Not only does the book leave no discernible gaps, but it is moreover edited on the basis of sequential themes that avoid leaping from subject to subject without coherency. Thus, the reader is given a chance to understand some of the complexities of oil and gas operations themselves, such as the nature of gas prior to extraction and the means required in respect of its exploration or transportation in liquefied form; equally, the various processes relating to the decommission of oil platforms are explained by the authors in a manner that provides the reader with a practical understanding of the relevant tasks and works involved.
