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

Crude Oil Production

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.

The Canadian oil and gas industry has been particularly successful in establishing operations in Russia. The author argues that the Canadian penetration of Russia's byzantine legislation, regulation and bureaucracy is due to Canada's long history of governmental and commercial dealings with the former Soviet Union; to Canada's relatively low profile on the international political scene; and to the fact that those involved in the petroleum industries in Canada and Russia share similar experiences in terms of the problems posed by climate, geology and jurisdictional overlap in both countries, experiences which have led to mutual understanding and enhanced co-operation. The author provides an overview of the issues and options which confront a Canadian company in the process of establishing a viable operation in Russia. He suggests that patience, flexibility and long-term planning are the management tools required to succeed in Russia's fluid and complex legal and legislative environment.

In Norway, the largest reported quantities of radioactive discharges and radioactive waste containing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) come from the oil and gas sector, and smaller quantities of other NORM waste are also produced by industrial or mining processes. The Gulen final repository for radioactive waste from the oil and gas industry from the Norwegian continental shelf was opened in 2008 and has a capacity of 6000 tonnes. As of 1 January 2011, a new regulation was enforced whereby radioactive waste and radioactive pollution was integrated in the Pollution Control Act from 1981. This means that radioactive waste and radioactive pollution are now regulated under the same legal framework as all other pollutants and hazardous wastes. The regulation establishes two sets of criteria defining radioactive waste: a lower value for when waste is considered to be radioactive waste, and a higher value, in most cases, for when this waste must be disposed of in a final waste repository. For example, waste containing ≥1 Bq/g of Ra-226 is defined as radioactive waste, while radioactive waste containing ≥10 Bq/g of Ra-226 must be disposed of in a final repository. Radioactive waste between 1 and 10 Bq/g can be handled and disposed of by waste companies who have a licence for handling hazardous waste according to the Pollution Control Act. Alternatively, they will need a separate licence for handling radioactive waste from the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority. The goal of the new regulation is that all radioactive waste should be handled and stored in a safe manner, and discharges should be controlled through a licensing regime in order to avoid/not pose unnecessary risk to humans or the environment. This paper will elaborate on the new regulation of radioactive waste and the principles of NORM management in Norway in view of the International Commission on Radiological Protection's 2007 Recommendations.
