As the turmoil in Iraq shows no sign of abating, our panel of expert speakers draw from their own experience in advising clients in the oil and gas sector to consider the implications of this instability on international energy contracts, including:

• Hydrocarbon legislation in Iraq, including the positions of the Government of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG) and the Federal Government of Iraq (FGI) in relation to power to legislate and contract for petroleum operations;
• The legal proceedings launched by the FGI against the KRG and third party purchasers of oil exported by the KRG;
• The implications of the ICC arbitration initiated by the FGI against Turkey under an Inter-Government Agreement;
• The impact on international energy contracts of a potential declaration of independence by the Kurdistan Region of Iraq; and
• The implications of export of oil from Iraq by IS (formerly ISIS).

Speakers:

• Matthew Weiniger QC, Partner
• Caroline Kehoe, Partner
• Dominic Roughton, Partner
• Christopher Thomson, Senior Associate
