Description

This book is an essential foundation text for oil and gas law as an area that has developed over the last decades, and considers its relevance to the UK oil and gas industry, with the UK government's commitments to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Split into four parts, the book considers the general framework of the International oil and gas industry; offers practical information on the overall UKCS framework; provides useful guidance on how to negotiate and review oil and gas contracts; and examines the future of the UKCS Oil and Gas industry.

The third edition has been fully updated to include:

- New rules for oil and gas drilling
- The landmark case of R (Finch on behalf of the Weald Action Group & Others) v. Surrey County Council (& Others)
- Technological advances
- The UK's plans to reach net zero by 2050

Oil and Gas Law in the UK is written in a clear and reader-friendly style and includes detailed appendices on cross-boundary agreements and guidance on disputes.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.
