Over the last few years significant investments in the Canadian resource sector have been made by foreign, state-owned investors. Recent developments in this area have raised concerns that Industry Canada is adopting a more restrictive approach with respect to state-owned enterprises. This article examines the history and evolution of Canada’s foreign investment regime against the current regime in place in the energy sector. The article then examines the practical and commercial effects of the recent developments and concludes by providing examples of how to navigate the emerging commercial and regulatory framework.

Abstract Legal issues around the decommissioning of oil and gas fields have generally been given insufficient attention by energy lawyers in most jurisdictions worldwide. Oil and gas lawyers, and other stakeholders in Egypt, face the same challenge. This article discusses the topic of the decommissioning of oil and gas fields in the context of the legal aspects and the regulatory framework for decommissioning in Egypt, demonstrating the main challenges relating to the legal framework for decommissioning arrangements in the country. At the heart of the legal challenges associated with the decommissioning of oil and gas fields in Egypt lies the most important question: who should pay the associated costs, and when? This article also presents some recommendations to enhance the current regulatory framework for the decommissioning of oil and gas fields in Egypt, to maintain the balance of interests between international oil companies and national oil companies active in Egypt.

Kazakhstan has shown an increase in its offshore oil and gas (O&G) prospection and operation activities in the Caspian Sea since 1998, so far with a limited number of operators, but which is about to increase significantly. This is of concern, considering that the environmental and industrial safety regulatory framework is still inadequate for the prevention of pollution from a large number of operators in a very sensitive aquatic ecosystem. This paper reports on the results of a study undertaken for the European Commission Tacis programme aimed at enhancing the environmental and industrial safety regulatory framework in order to align it with EU and international best practice. Based on a comprehensive analysis of applicable international standards and regulations, as well as those of Kazakhstan, ten issues are identified which require urgent attention. These issues are discussed and recommendations made on how to address them in order to improve the regulatory system.

This article outlines the current regulatory framework for suspension/discontinuation, abandonment, and reclamation liabilities in Alberta. The focus is on the recent amendments introduced by the Energy Statutes Amendment Act, 2000. First, jurisdictional issues that arise regarding these liabilities are discussed. Then the current liability regime for the suspension and abandonment of oil and gas wells and other upstream facilities is reviewed. A similar review is conducted of liabilities associated with discontinuing and abandoning pipelines in Alberta. The liability regime applicable to the reclamation of wells, facilities, and pipelines is then considered. The article concludes with a review of the Energy Statutes Amendment Act's, 2000 amendments to the Orphan Fund.
