We are pleased to announce the offering of two specialized courses in oil and gas law, policy and economics. The

established in Angola with financial support from BP and technical support from their Senior Counsel, Norman Nadorff,
who will be an instructor. A world-class faculty has been organized for this course, comprising leading oil and gas
professors, consultants and practitioners who frequently lecture in similar programs around the world. They include top
professors from the Universities of Dundee, Aberdeen, Houston, Oklahoma and SMU, and in-house counsel from major oil
companies. The current President of the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators (AIPN), Karen Krug, will teach
Week 1.
Objective
The objective of these new courses is to promote the training and education of Thai lawyers, petroleum engineers,
negotiators, economists, commercial and financial managers and other professionals and regulators in the area of oil and gas
law, policy and economics, in order to create a group of qualified professionals who will serve the interests of Thailand and
its petroleum industry. Presently there is no post-graduate oil and gas law/economics/policy program offered by any
university in Thailand.
Target Group
The courses are primarily designed for professionals from various academic disciplines and areas of endeavor who are
interested in increasing their knowledge and competence in oil and gas law, economics and policy.
