Under these arrangements, petroleum activities are undertaken for the benefit of the state but at the risk and expense of the investor. However, the traditional concession system has had to adapt to the global shift towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions. This book examines the role of petroleum concessions, explains the process through which they are granted, and considers how they may evolve to address the challenges presented by the energy transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into three main parts. Part A examines the relationship between existing petroleum concession systems and the transition towards net-zero emissions. It explores the reasons why states adopt concession arrangements, as well as the procedures and mechanisms involved in awarding them. It also considers the effects of the energy transition and the risks it creates for both governments and investors, including examples of states withdrawing their support for future petroleum exploration and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart B provides an overview of the typical terms and provisions found in petroleum concessions. It considers matters such as the scope, duration, and geographical area covered by a concession, as well as the procedures for modifying it. The obligations and applicable standards imposed on both investors and states are examined, together with fiscal arrangements such as taxation and other non-fiscal benefits that may be obtained by the state. The section also considers constitutional provisions that may form part of concession agreements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart C explores how the structure and awarding of existing and future petroleum concessions could be adapted by states in response to the energy transition. It also considers ways to promote the commercialisation of cleaner forms of gas and examines how national oil companies can be used more effectively to help states manage and respond to the transition towards a lower-carbon energy system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features of Upstream Petroleum Concessions by Peter Roberts: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvides a comprehensive examination of upstream petroleum concession terms and explains the procedures and mechanisms through which states award such concessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamines the practical implications of the energy transition for states and investors, as well as its potential impact on the terms of future petroleum concessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProposes possible approaches for states and investors to align existing and future concession arrangements with the demands and objectives of the energy transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Content of Upstream Petroleum Concessions by Peter Roberts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA: Concessions and the Energy Transition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1:The Logic for a Concession\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2:Concession Forms and Mechanics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3:The Energy Transition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4:State-Sponsored Withdrawals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eB: The Terms of a Concession\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5:Parties, Collateral Support, Governance, Transfers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6:Scope and Duration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7:The Concession Area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8:The Investor's Obligations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9:Fiscal Terms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10:Other Grantor Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11:Constitutional Provisions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eC: Evolving Concessions and Sector Developments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12:Modifying Concessions and Concession Awards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13:Promoting Gas Production\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14:Promoting the National Oil Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Roberts\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solicitor with more than three decades of professional experience in the oil and gas industry.
