1 SECTORS & MARKETS Energy & Natural Resources
2 OVERVIEW The dynamic and evolving energy and natural resources sector has seen a rapid rise in its public profile in recent years, as affordable energy, security of supply and climate change concerns have risen up the political agenda. This has led to increasing scrutiny in the pages of newspapers and intense competitive pressure: carbon reduction, energy nationalism, the rush for resources and renewable energy are among the big issues challenging operators in the industry. Meanwhile there is no sign of commercial activity in the sector diminishing, as global demand for energy and natural resources continues to grow. There continues to be a shift in geographic focus to reflect changing patterns of energy supply and demand with the deployment by the industry of new approaches and novel technologies. This has resulted in a definitive trend towards projects in the developing world. Few other industries are so global in their outlook and so fundamental in their impact on everyday lives around the world. Responsive, commercial, customer-focused and willing to go that extra mile for the relationship. Chambers and s Energy companies across the globe are seeking out new ways of harnessing energy or more efficient means of accessing existing supplies. This means that the industry as a whole is embracing change and reconsidering business models, all against a backdrop of increased participation of National Oil Companies in energy markets, global legislative and policy changes, and constant technological innovation. The value and volume of energy transactions and projects in Africa and Latin America continues to expand, while the scale of many opportunities span international boundaries and require the attention of global professional service providers. Asia continues to play a key role for the world s energy companies, as China s need for natural resources keeps growing, particularly for oil and coal. China now uses nearly as much coal as the rest of world combined, according to the US Energy information Agency. What s more, because of the sharp reduction in Japan s nuclear power generation, its increased demands for liquid natural gas are critical to the economics of gas markets worldwide. The long-term outlook for energy investment is undoubtedly strong. Under scenarios published by the International Energy Agency, US$15 trillion of investment will be attracted to the energy sector over the next decade. In a sector that is so expansive yet so sensitive to global political and regulatory change, organisations need to work with lawyers that understand the landscape they are operating in and the commercial and technical issues that they face. Appleby s energy and natural resources lawyers are based in our offices around the world, in key offshore jurisdictions that are significant to the industry such as Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Mauritius and the Seychelles and work closely with onshore advisers located in all relevant jurisdictions. We advise some of the world s largest energy companies, governments, regulators and investors, on all aspects of the industry and related infrastructure projects, from oil and gas, mining and natural resources exploration, through the generation and production chain to final delivery and distribution. 2
