Course overview:
The oil and gas industry is capital intensive, with long time periods prior to economic payback. As such, the financing of operations is a constant challenge for the management of any oil and gas entity. There are a variety of methods for financing operations, including private equity, capital markets, commercial loans and project financing, each with different characteristics. The forms of funding available vary according to the status of the operations in question and the associated contractual matrix.
This workshop will consider the various forms of funding available to oil and gas industry participants, the stages at which such funding becomes available, the legal forms that may be used with each type of funding, the obligations created by those forms and the principle legal issues that impact upon and specific issues that affect the forms.
