The Canada Nova Scotia Agreement on Offshore Oil and Gas Resource Management and Revenue Sharing has been in effect since March 1, 1982. After one year of operation, the Agreement has been renewed to consider whether the legal and regulatory framework is onductive to propert offshore managemen and also to determine the Agreement's general impact on the petroleum industry on the Scotian Shelf.

Offshore development is one of the most important but least analyzed chapters in the history of the petroleum industry, and the Gulf of Mexico is the most explored, drilled, and developed offshore petroleum province in the world. This essay examines offshore oil and gas development in the Gulf of Mexico, highlighting the importance of access and how the unique geology and geography of the Gulf shaped both access and technology. Interactions between technology, capital, geology, and the political structure of access in the Gulf of Mexico generated a functionally and regionally complex extractive industry that repeatedly resolved the material and economic contradictions of expanding into deeper water. This was not achieved, however, simply through technological miracles or increased mastery over the environment, as industry experts and popular accounts often imply. The industry moved deeper only by more profoundly adapting to the environment, not by transcending its limits. This essay diverges from celebratory narratives about offshore development and from interpretations that emphasize the social construction of the environment. It challenges the storyline of market-driven technology and its miraculous ability to expand and create petroleum abundance in the Gulf.

ABSTRACTThis article takes a normative approach to explore what and how we might learn from existing indigenous governance arrangements in the Arctic and how they may contribute to the larger debates over Arctic governance and who decides. It begins with a brief exploration of the existing literature regarding co-management; particularly what some legal scholars have defined as post-Westphalian resource management as well as engaging ongoing discussions about co-management as it pertains to the Arctic. It then turns to the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC) as a case study and possible starting point for governing newly emerging resource management issues in the Arctic. Specifically, this article will look at how the governance framework of the AEWC might be applicable for the current governance discussions regarding Arctic offshore oil and gas development. Lastly, this paper will offer preliminary reflections as to how a post-sovereign resource management approach could contribute to the broader theoretical debates concerning who owns the Arctic and who decides. Specifically it offers one possible way to envisage the future of a strengthened Arctic Council operating in a world where states are not the only actors participating in the governance of the Arctic.

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.

The Federal Government, mindful of the pivotal importance of reliable supplies of oil and gas for the economic stability of the nation, has recently passed the Maritime Transport Security Amendment Act 2005. This introduces a security plan for Australia’s offshore oil and gas facilities aimed at combating the likelihood of physical attack by terrorists or other organisations.Here we discuss that security plan, and identify potential gaps of especial significance for the petroleum industry. Our focus is on the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities represented by presently available technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) plus commercial and allied-government satellites. In this discussion we dispel various myths (for example, the fiction of continuously-available real-time imagery).Next we consider the near-term future (next five-to-ten years) and analyse the improved ISR capabilities that will result from the burgeoning technologies being introduced during that period. These include the next generation of UAVs (including high-altitude long-endurance platforms) and also continuous (but limited resolution) imagery of the whole globe obtained from geostationary orbit. Again we identify potential security gaps that are pertinent from the perspective of the petroleum industry.On the basis of our capability gap identification we make recommendations with regard to evolving security concerns that the petroleum industry may wish to consider for submission to the Federal Government: given what ISR science, technology and engineering can deliver, what could be done on a whole-of-nation basis to optimise the defence of our offshore facilities?Finally, we outline the modelling and simulation capabilities that are available specifically to aid such organisations as the Department of Defence and Coastwatch in efforts to anticipate and thus efficiently and effectively ameliorate the potential for such attacks. These may well be of interest to the industry in that they underpin the analysis mentioned above, and inform what could and perhaps should be done to lessen the risk posed to the nation’s petroleum industry.

China join in WTO means that China petroleum industry will be integrated into economic globalization also means that China petroleum industry will have a direct impact by market competition. As being Chinese’s largest offshore oil and gas producer, China National Offshore Oil Corporation must take active measures to deal with the opportunities and challenges brought by joining the World Trade Organization.
