The Global Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Committee provides an ABA-sponsored venue for energy law practitioners who wish to monitor, discuss and explore legal trends and developments that impact the practice of law within the oil and gas industry. This Committee focuses upon many topics of interest to energy law practitioners including, among others: (1) legal issues pertinent to the business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas, (2) new trends and developments in the oil and gas industry that have an impact on the rendition of legal services within that industry, (3) regulatory, statutory and case law developments pertinent to the exploration and production business, and (4) the future of the domestic oil and gas exploration and production industry.

Publications
The Global Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Committee prepares each year an article summarizing new court decisions and statutory and regulatory developments over the prior year in the major oil and gas producing-states. This annual report is prepared by a panel of over 20 contributors and is published in the Section’s Year in Review monograph. It is widely recognized as a leading resource for oil and gas practitioners who desire to monitor legal developments in the key oil and gas jurisdictions.
