OPERATIONS DIRECTORATE: WELL LIFE CYCLE PRACTICES FORUM (WLCPF)

Why should you attend?

OPERATIONS DIRECTORATE: LEGAL ISSUES FORUM (LIF)

Why should you attend? The Legal Issues Forum provides an active forum for members to be able to come together and raise legal areas that they would either like to know more about or they think could benefit from industry consultation. The Legal Issues Forum recognises its wide ambit and, as such, the majority of its areas will be examined in dedicated work groups of interested parties. Who can attend? Attendance at the forum is open to all Oil & Gas UK members and is usually attended by a member’s in-house lawyer or senior commercial managers. How frequently are meetings held? The forum will be held twice a year; however work groups will be held on a much more frequent basis. Example topics

• Updating the LOGIC Standard Contracts • Examining new legislation requirements • Developing new industry agreements (where appropriate)
