ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
In turbulent times for the entire Energy Sector, Oil & Gas E & P segments are
coming under tremendous pressure to reinvigorate. Oil Majors like Shell Plc are
no longer termed as Oil & Gas Company but also branded as SHELL Energy, with
technology at its forefront. The Risks, Scope and Context of Engineering,
Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning (EPCIC) Projects is
evolving rapidly. Thus, the success of a project is dependent on the practical
'know how' in scoping, contract drafting, negotiation and execution
competencies. Understanding the essential ingredients of contracts and mastering
the international contracting principles will equip the participants to identify
vague and ambiguous clauses, avoid dangerous and often hidden terms, and better
understand the controlling position in a project.
In this 3 full-day course, the participants will find out how to negotiate
legacy contracts where parties are not allowed to edit any clauses during the
bidding process. The participants will learn from the Case Law Reports and
analysis to take home lessons learned from bitter experiences of their peers in
the industry. It is designed to help those who need a solution to manage current
contractual issues or those who execute contracts regularly and want to be more
proficient in managing their contracts and projects, with changing contexts.
The course is developed with the underlying objectives for the participants to:
1. Enhance their current knowledge of the legal principles governing
international Contracts from formation, execution to breaches, redresses and
dispute resolution either as a party or as a consortium member or as a
coverture.
2. Manage Consortium and Joint Venture Partners inter-relationship and
contractual responsibilities.
3. Identify dangerous exposures due to joint and severally liable requirements
of consortium-based contracts.
4. Effectively Manage Risks of Projects, with Enforceable Contract Documents,
by learning the purpose and potential benefits of maintaining evidence in
compliance to the contract clauses.
5. Learn the Contract Enforcement Nuggets of Owners and the Variation Claims
Strategies of the Contractors.
6. Allocation of contract management related roles / assignments and WBS within
consortium partners for effective project management and profitable results.
7. Use of Contract Terms & Conditions for enhancing project performance,
monitoring, reporting, and achieving timely completion, thereby avoiding
delays and disputes.
This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
format.
