Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on oil concession negotiation and disputes both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in negotiation and disputes — it punishes it. It concentrates on the parts of this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Buying a tool rarely fixes oil concession negotiation and disputes; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations before they become incidents. Comparative studies of negotiation and disputes across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a operating procedure for oil concession negotiation and disputes as they go. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on negotiation and disputes are used deliberately. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
