Oil & gas

Upstream and downstream disputes, from production and joint ventures to long-term supply and price reviews.

Oil and gas disputes turn on documents drafted decades ago and performed through cycles nobody predicted. We sit in matters throughout the oil & gas value chain: joint operating agreements, offshore construction, long-term supply, and the price reviews.

Typical disputes

  • PSA/PSC, joint operating and farm-in issues
  • LNG and gas price reviews and re-openers
  • Long-term supply and offtake disputes
  • Offshore construction and oil services contract disputes
  • Transit, storage and transportation problems

Selected appointments

  • President in an ICC arbitration relating to oil field interests (London seat, Pakistani law)
  • Sole arbitrator in an expedited ICC arbitration arising out of an oil services contract (Singapore seat, Asian civil law)
  • Emergency arbitrator in an ICC arbitration involving a long-term LNG sale and purchase agreement (Singapore seat, Singapore law)
