Environmental and Contract Law

Abstract

Most oil reserves are located in developing countries, which often do not have the regimes required to comply with international standards. In developed countries, new technologies such as framing explain the need to develop the necessary laws and regulations and their reflection in the drilling and development contracts. In the present chapter, with a comparative study of oil contracts, including the new generation of oil contracts of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IPC), the environmental conditions contained in these contracts have been studied and analyzed. The main purpose of this study is to review the solutions provided in international agreements, analyze the current status of laws and regulations of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and provide the necessary solutions according to the current situation of oil operations areas in Iran. The results of this chapter, besides its ethical value, can be useful for policymakers and lawyers practicing in the field of oil and gas contracts.
