Midstream Accounting, May 13, 2021
As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue, provisions in midstream contracts are of the utmost importance—including force majeure, minimum volume commitments, and adequate assurance of performance. This event will provide an in-depth look at those matters and give attendees the tools and understanding needed to effectively navigate complex agreements.
Whether the contract is for purchase and sale or gathering and processing; for the engineering, procurement, and construction of pipelines and other facilities; or for master purchase or service agreements; there are many critical areas attorneys and commercial managers must focus upon to create a clear and effective contract for the company.
This course will provide the following key takeaways:
- General contract terms
- FERC jurisdictional issues
- Construction contracts
- Other project development agreements
- Gathering and processing agreements
- Pipeline ROW
- Environment, health and safety issues
