Managing the Risk of Offshore Oil and Gas Accidents/Управление рисками аварий в офшорной добыче нефти и газа

Издание на английском языке
The book explores the legal aspects of offshore oil and gas production, focusing on the lack of international regulation and risk management related to accidents. It covers both the prevention of harm and the management of consequences after accidents, including issues of liability and compensation. The authors emphasize the importance of creating an effective international legal framework for managing cross-border risks, especially in light of recent disasters such as the accidents on the Montara and Deepwater Horizon platforms. Despite the trend towards a low-carbon economy, the book argues that the risks of accidents in the offshore industry remain relevant and require attention.
