The main purpose of this article is to examine Iran’s legal and contractual framework for their petroleum, oil and gas industry. Basically, the legal and contractual framework of the Iranian oil and gas industry has been classified into three periods. The first period is from the exploration and discovery of oil in Iran to nationalisation (1901-1951), the second period is from nationalisation to revolution (1951-1979), and the third period is from revolution to the present day (1979-20016).Because each period has its own features and importance two articles will examine this topic. The first period (from exploration to nationalisation, 1901-1951), and second period (from nationalisation to revolution, 1951-1979), has been examined in this article with legal and comparative analysis, and the third period (1979-2016) will be covered in a later article.It should be mentioned that each contractual framework was a turning point regarding to opportunities and circumstances that they have been in that time and also each of those petroleum contractual regimes were a step toward to contractual framework evolution in Iran.

The article examines the trade and economic cooperation between the two countries at the present stage. Given the fact that Turkey is actively expanding its presence not only in Kazakhstan, but also in Central Asia, this issue is of urgent importance.Turkish business is represented in various sectors of the Kazakh economy: construction, transport, and communications. At the same time, we note that Turkey invests in the strategic sectors of our economy. Joint-stock companies and joint ventures have been established that produce products for domestic and international markets. Over the years, a legislative and legal framework has been formed in all areas of cooperation. The Turkish presence is noticeable not only in Kazakhstan, but also in Central Asia. Ankara has managed to put economic and humanitarian cooperation between our countries on a solid foundation. Among the priorities of Turkey's "soft power" are joint projects in the oil and gas industry, education and culture

Oil and gas production continues to be an important sector of Utah’s economy. Following a 25% loss in production between 2014 and 2015, Utah’s production continues to slowly rebound. Crude oil production in 2019 appears to be slightly ahead of 2018 production. Monthly production averages slightly over three million barrels, placing Utah among the top ten states in crude oil production. Along with the continuing increase in production, the state’s legal framework governing oil and gas continues to develop. This Article examines recent changes in Utah statutes and regulations along with new case law developments involving the oil and gas industry. In particular, this Article discusses a recent federal bankruptcy decision involving midstream agreements, the revision to a Utah statute that now requires mandatory reporting of unclaimed mineral interests, and recent revisions to Utah’s oil and gas regulations.

The recently announced discovery of potential large-scale reserves in the Brazilian so called pre-salt layer has resulted in a new legal framework for the country. In this new architecture, old and new regulation share the legal arena. Exploring this context, this paper provides an overview of the emergence and evolution of the oil and gas market in Brazil, and discusses the new legal configuration where the prevailing Concession System co-exists with the Production Sharing System and the Onerous Assignment. The conclusion pinpoints the challenges that the country faces in dealing with two energy sources –oil and gas— that will play an increasing role in Brazil’s future. It also indicates that the introduction of competition also has brought new features and improvements to oil and gas industry in Brazil. Structuring a robust legal framework that will foster the necessary investments is not only a challenge for the Brazilian economy, but also one that has to be tackled by many emergent economies with newly hydrocarbon discoveries.

During the COVID-19 crisis, the oil and gas industry is among industries that face challenges in selling their products and struggling to manage their cash flow. The pressure to improve financial discipline within the oil and gas industry started even before the COVID-19 crisis. This paper validates the feasibility of adopting work-from-home (WFH) as a permanent practice for oil and gas companies in Indonesia and how it will help to reduce costs, enhance employee productivity, and improve their organizational agility. The survey was conducted two weeks after the start of the forced WFH “experiment.” One hundred nine executives from various oil and gas companies in Indonesia took part in the survey. The result of this study resulted in most of the large and established companies in Indonesia, in particular, the oil and gas companies, being slow in adopting this practice. The COVID-19 crisis could be the turning point for a wider and lasting adoption of WFH in the oil and gas industry. The survey results validate that business can still run even when their employees are working from home. Also, the survey results showed that a shift of opinion toward accepting WFH as the new normal exists. The survey indicates that many companies have crossed psychological and mental blocks and are receptive to the idea of making WFH part of normal HR practices.
