AIPN Offshore Drilling Contract 

This virtual seminar will cover the AIPN Offshore Drilling Contract (2020). Speakers, including one of the drafting co-chairs, will give a practical review of the contract and examine key aspects of the agreement, such as:

- Term
- Basic responsibilities
- Indemnity
- Insurance
- Termination; and
- Remedies for breach

In addition, the session will feature a mock negotiation of the model contract with a focus on the indemnity and insurance provisions. This will be a practical way for attendees to learn how to use the model contract and its various options.

The AIPN Model Offshore Drilling Contract is intended to work in most offshore areas and countries around the world. It is intended to be a fairly balanced contract with the risks, rights, and obligations being about equal for both parties. This contract may be used in conventional shelf operations, or in deepwater operations, and may be utilized for jack-up, semi-submersible, and drillship type drilling units. The contract contains various optional and alternative provisions. Some of the optionality is required due to different drilling environments, countries of operations, and types of drilling unit to be used, while some options will facilitate negotiation of commercial and risk allocation provisions depending on the risks, legal systems, and drilling operations involved.
