International Approaches to Hydrocarbon Development in Disputed Zones: Unitization and Unit Operating Agreements
Acerca de este libro electrónico
Using case studies in international (cross-border) unitization and joint development agreements, the book uses regional examples from the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. It also touches upon case studies related to ongoing disputes from the South China Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Gulf of Guinea. Focusing on best practices which have influenced the development of the unitization concept, the book looks at the formulation of different models and agreements, and their potential impact on unexplored hydrocarbon resources, particularly in cases where unitization is necessary.
The book will be of interest to practitioners, scholars and students in the field of natural resource law, international law and unitization.
