When you aim for excellent contracting practice
By far the biggest error in upstream oil and gas contracts is a clear disconnect between the essential parts of the contract. Scopes do not correlate to pricing schedules, and the latter is often overridden by the T&C, which contain standard template wordings and - classic danger - take precedence over the rest of the contract. Lawyers draft terms and conditions of the templates for the future application so no specific scope or pricing arrangement can be taken into account at the time of drafting. As a result, mere cut and paste of templated T&C into the contract for specific scope and specific rates brings upstream sector to a disastrous consequences, where contracts do not serve their purpose. Learn to identify the most impactful gaps of “standard” contract engineering and eliminate risk of not having a clear contractual governance, when it is most needed.

Sofiya Poland FCIPS
Head of Group Procurement at Al Masaood
I had a privilege to meet Olga Labai – a talented and energized Legal professional through my MCIPS module for Contracting Excellence. I was impressed with Olga’s talent to engage and to keep the audience highly interactive and interested, while delivering an important and at places difficult subject of legal principles in contracting. Olga has presented herself as a focused and strong-minded person with profound knowledge and experience and an accomplished ability to transfer that experience to others. Olga has also a very good sense of humor, which in combination makes it a perfect recipe for a positive outcome. I am highly recommending Olga to any reputable organisations, which would certainly benefit from Olga’s training in a up scaling the employee’s legal concepts knowledge, improving their practical skills and learning professional technics to achieve a confidence level.

I attended 2 day training on "Understanding Terms and Conditions in the Contract” with Olga, one day of which covered commercial part of the contract (legal theory of LDs, payment provisions, termination/suspension, SoW etc.) and second day covered all the legal contractual concepts (indemnity, liability, consequential and catastrophic losses). I found the course really helpful. Training builds strong capabilities of any professional with non-legal background to understand general terms and conditions. That allows to achieve balanced risk allocation, make communication with clients more effective and take other steps that may save company from huge losses.

Highly recommend Olga and Oil & Gas Consultants! The training was not only engaging, effective and informative but presented in a 'real world situation'. I shall look forward to further participation in other elements offered by OGC.
