This CLE course will guide energy counsel on the key considerations and essential provisions in master service agreements (MSAs) for oil and gas businesses, including insurance, indemnification, damages, and payment. The panel will discuss negotiating and structuring MSAs, issues that commonly arise, and how the courts have treated indemnity provisions in MSAs in those jurisdictions that have anti-indemnity statutes.

Description

An MSA defines the relationship between an oil and gas company and its providers of goods and services. Most MSAs allocate risk. However, there are limitations, and counsel must understand those limitations under both state and federal law.

Counsel to companies involved in the oil and gas industry must understand the challenges involved in crafting MSAs to meet the parties' expectations and align with their insurance packages along with the applicable venue's treatment of MSAs.

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses vital considerations and key provisions in an MSA, including insurance and indemnification, damages, and enforceability. The group will discuss negotiating and structuring MSAs, issues that commonly arise, and how the courts have treated MSAs.
