Understanding Petroleum Sector Risk
This session provides a high-level introduction to petroleum sector risk in upstream oil and gas, with a focus on the above-ground factors that shape investment decisions, project delivery, and sector development. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how governments and investors view risk, how upstream frameworks evolve over time, and how issues such as local content fit into the broader investment environment. The session is designed to support more informed policy, commercial, and regulatory decision-making without going into detailed legal or technical interpretation.
