Statutory, Legal, and Compliance Requirements in Oil & Gas Operations

In the global oil and gas industry, the ability to maintain compliance with statutory, legal, and regulatory requirements is not just a matter of operational efficiency — it is a critical factor in protecting people, the environment, and corporate reputation. Every activity within the sector, from exploration and drilling to refining and transportation, operates under a strict framework of local and international laws. Compliance failures can lead to catastrophic consequences, including environmental disasters, financial penalties, legal actions, and loss of stakeholder confidence.

This Statutory, Legal, and Compliance Requirements in Oil & Gas Operations training course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the statutory, legal, and compliance environment governing oil and gas operations. It covers international conventions, national legislation, and local standards that dictate operational conduct and corporate responsibility. Emphasis is placed on the development of compliance management systems, the alignment of operational policies with legal requirements, and the practical application of governance principles to achieve sustainable performance.

A special focus is given to radiation safety and regulatory compliance, an essential yet often specialized area within oil and gas operations. From the use of radioactive sources in well logging and non-destructive testing to the handling of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and Technologically Enhanced NORM (TENORM), radiation protection has become an integral part of the HSE and legal compliance frameworks in upstream and downstream activities.

Throughout the course, participants will engage with case studies, real-world examples, and international standards such as those from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), International Labour Organization (ILO), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and regional oil and gas regulatory authorities (e.g., ADNOC, ARAMCO, QP).

By the end of the course, participants will not only understand the complex web of legal obligations but will also be equipped to implement practical compliance systems, audit readiness procedures, and continuous improvement strategies that ensure long-term adherence to both statutory and radiation safety regulations.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Interpret and apply statutory, legal, and regulatory frameworks relevant to oil and gas operations
• Identify compliance requirements related to environmental, health, and safety performance
• Develop and implement effective compliance management systems
• Understand international standards governing radiation protection and exposure control
• Manage the licensing, monitoring, and recordkeeping obligations of radioactive sources
• Conduct compliance audits and ensure preparedness for inspections
• Mitigate risks associated with non-compliance, radiation exposure, and environmental harm
• Foster a strong organizational culture of ethical and regulatory accountability
