It examines how legal systems regulate resource extraction, revenue management, environmental protection, and state participation while balancing national development priorities with international obligations.
The course builds practical understanding of the upstream petroleum industry and the legal structures that guide resource governance, investor participation, and state oversight.
The course emphasises practical analysis, policy evaluation, and application of legal principles to real resource governance challenges. Students will develop the ability to interpret petroleum agreements, evaluate regulatory frameworks, and analyse disputes arising in the natural resources sector.
This programme is designed to enhance analytical competence, strengthen examination performance, and equip students with practical insight into resource governance and energy regulation.
