Reading Time : 1 min

Akin partner and head of international arbitration Mark Clarke has co-authored a chapter on oil and gas disputes in the newly published fourth edition of Oil and Gas: A Practical Handbook, published by Globe Law and Business.

The handbook provides a clear and practical roadmap to documenting oil and gas transactions across the value chain. This includes upstream exploration and appraisal, midstream and downstream development and production, and the monetization of hydrocarbons. It distills the essential principles practitioners need to navigate contracts, risk allocation, regulatory considerations and deal execution in a single reference.

The oil and gas disputes chapter explores the complexity, breadth and value of the oil and gas industry as a fertile ground for disputes, examining the technical, commercial and legal issues that commonly arise across the sector.

The handbook is designed to provide a comprehensive and practice-oriented resource for lawyers, commercial managers and policymakers seeking a deeper understanding of the commercial drivers and legal structures underpinning modern oil and gas projects.
