Oil and gas companies are constantly in search of opportunities to expand their resource base and create value. Emerging markets can provide companies with opportunities for significant rewards, especially in regions where oil and gas resources may be underdeveloped and where new technologies have not yet been exploited. However, emerging markets also pose numerous challenges and risks, which can potentially lead to significant legal and reputational damage. This article explores key legal risk areas for oil and gas companies in emerging markets and best practices for managing those risks and operating in a socially responsible way, recognizing that risk management centers around controlled and reasoned decision-making, not eliminating risk. The article is intended to provide a high-level overview of the key legal risk areas and mitigation strategies to serve as a guide for directors and management teams operating in these challenging regions as opposed to providing a comprehensive discussion on any particular risk area.

Abstract Oil and gas companies’ future production profile is shaped by their exploration strategy and resource base development. Gazprom Neft's production profile will include 40% of current exploration projects by 2030. Geological exploration, on the other hand, is a high-risk business because it involves a lot of uncertainty due to the geological complexity of the targets being explored, as well as a lot of risky capital. Taking these factors into account, the Company will need to expand its exploration function as well as its approaches to managing exploration projects in order to meet its lofty aims. To determine the key areas of growth and a strategy for the exploration function development in the coming years, it was decided to first analyze the geological exploration activity in the Company in 2010 – 2020 period. The knowledge of achievements, success stories, and development areas is the fulcrum for future victories. Therefore, retrospective analysis is an important tool for the development of any system of activity - individual, organization, or state.

Risk management has been widely studied and applied in oil and gas pipeline projects, but the reality is that the impacts still occur. This is due to the ineffectiveness of existing risk management applications, so of course in this case an effective risk management system is needed, in which risk management must pay attention to all aspects that exist, both internal aspects, external aspects, and other aspects that can affect and influenced by existing risks and risk management not only can be used as a preventive method. But it can also support sustainable development targets. This paper presents the application of risk management by oil and gas companies in Indonesia that has been adapted to ISO 31000:2009 as a framework that can integrate various other management processes, including the management of HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) risk in the hope of that sustainable development can be achieved . But in the reality it can not be denied that the activities that continue to this day still cause negative impact, especially for the environment. International oil and gas companies nowadays place more emphasis on preventive measures than the methods of mitigation. Thus it shows that the concept of sustainable development has not been fully considered in risk management applications. The existence of a continuous negative impact would greatly affect the credibility of oil and gas companies. Based on the results of research conducted with the hybrid method and analyzed with the help of System Dynamics it can be concluded that there are 3 (three) factors that can affect reputation risk, these factors are social, environmental, and economic and the model built in this study shows that it will can help the oil and gas company players to predict and improve the company’s reputation.

The paper considers the key aspects of risk management in relation to the technological integration of economic entities. It is emphasized that the deepening of the technological chain includes the integration of resources of related production facilities and is undergoing changes in the context of accelerated digitalization, environmental transformation of the world economy. In this regard, the risk management system, which includes strategic mapping, systematization and risk assessment, as well as management control over financial, economic, scientific and technological types of risk, is of great importance. The authors highlight the trends of technological transformation of the global energy complex, which determine the promising directions of technological integration of the oil and gas sector for the development of carbon-neutral energy. As a positive vector, the development and implementation of innovations that improve environmental safety, as well as new technologies for the production of pure hydrogen from natural gas and recycling processes are shown. The conducted research allowed us to identify the scientific and institutional prerequisites for managing the risks of technological integration and to link them with risk management tools

The article reveals modern approaches to enterprise risk management based on the introduction of ERM (enterprise risk management) system, aimed at the integration of all types of risks in the company's strategy and the transition from protection from negative situations to the concept of risk appetite. The special importance of risk management for oil and gas companies in the conditions of global instability and high price volatility is emphasized. The author analyzes the experience of the Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor in the development and implementation of ERM, changes in the organization of risk management and methods of analysis and evaluation.

The adoption of model form contracts makes good business and legal risk management sense. In an Australian context there are a number of model form contracts available for each phase of an oil and gas project. This paper focuses on a few key examples including the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators (AIPN) Model Form Farmout Agreement and related Term Sheet, and the AIPN Model Form International Operating Agreement. Recent statutory changes, world events and practical drafting trends affecting the use of model form contracts also are commented on.

Abstract The oil and gas sector is facing a changing market with new pressures to which it must learn to adapt. One of the biggest changes in expectations is the increased focus being placed on carbon emissions. Many consumers, investors, and lawmakers see reforms to the oil and gas industry as one of the most important avenues toward reducing carbon emissions and curbing climate change, and accordingly, a large number of companies have already made ambitious pledges towards carbon neutrality. New technologies may offer the best avenue for oil and gas companies to reduce their carbon emissions and meet those neutrality goals. Digital technologies—and in particular, artificial intelligence—can aid in decarbonization even with relatively small investments, primarily by enabling large increases in efficiency and reducing unscheduled downtime and the need for flaring. This paper discusses how artificial intelligence-powered predictive maintenance can be applied to reduce carbon emissions, and a case study illustrating a real-world deployment of this technology.

The article considers the problem of optimizing the financial condition of oil and gas companies. The offered methods of optimization of a financial condition by scientists from different countries are investigated. It is determined that the financial condition of the enterprise depends on the effectiveness of the risk management system of enterprises. It is proved that the enterprises of the oil and gas complex need to develop a system for risk management to ensure the appropriate financial condition. The financial condition is estimated according to the system of certain financial indicators, the integrated indicator of financial condition assessment is constructed using the method of taxonomy. According to the results of the calculation of the integrated indicator, it is concluded that this indicator does not have a stable trend. On the basis of the conducted researches it is offered to carry out optimization of an integral indicator of a financial condition with use of genetic algorithm in the Matlab environment. Based on the obtained results, recommendations of the management of the researched enterprises on increase of management efficiency are given.
