The global oil and gas industry has been profoundly reshaped in recent years by geopolitical volatility, renewed energy security concerns, climate-aligned regulatory reforms and the accelerating transition towards low-carbon energy systems. The fourth edition of Oil and Gas: A Practical Handbook , edited by Renad Younes, responds to these developments through a carefully curated and practitioner-focused examination of the contemporary legal, contractual, regulatory and risk landscapes governing oil and gas activities. The Book seeks to guide legal and commercial actors operating in a sector that remains economically and geopolitically signi fi cant and yet increasingly contested. This edition incorporates emerging challenges confronting the oil and gas industry, including geopolitical fragmentation, just transition, standard oil and gas contracts, sanctions compliance, ESG, IOC, UNCLOS, FIDIC, JCT and NEC obligations and the rise of climate-related litigation. Drawing on contributions from experienced practitioners across leading international law fi rms and advisory institutions, the book offers a cross-jurisdictional and practice-oriented account of how oil and gas law functions in real-world commercial and regulatory settings. Although the book does not set out to provide a theoretical or normative critique of fossil fuel governance, it nonetheless offers valuable insight into how established legal mechanisms are adapting to systemic change within the global energy system. The book adopts a thematic structure organised around the lifecycle of oil and gas projects, spanning upstream licencing and contractual formation through project development, fi nancing, regulatory compliance, risk management and dispute resolution. Rather than focusing on individual jurisdictions in isolation, it highlights transferable principles and shared industry practices, enabling readers to draw comparative insights across regulatory systems. Each chapter is designed to stand-alone while remaining integrated within the broader architecture of the volume, thereby enhancing its value as both a reference text for practitioners and a teaching resource for academics and students of energy and natural resources law.
