While such a concept is straightforward, achieving the goal is anything but simple. Capturing value reflects maintaining a competitive position in the global market. There is no unique solution and every State\u2019s contractual, regulatory and fiscal system must be sensitive to the forever changing dynamics of risk and reward.<\/p>\n<p>The experience in <span style=\"color: #fdc5ad;\"><strong>Ulysses Petroleum Management<\/strong><\/span> brings with it many years of advising Sovereigns on exactly these issues. That experience is matched with a similar level of experience in advising oil and gas companies, large and small, on transactions and negotiations. Successful petroleum regimes are ones that are balanced, predicable, responsive and fair. A contract that is \u201ctoo good to be true\u201d for one side is just that; it will not last and value is lost through delays and disputes while the situation is normalized. Having this experience on both sides of the negotiating table is key to driving a successful outcome.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-665e2775826bb\" class=\"wd-text-block-wrapper wd-wpb wd-rs-665e2775826bb color-scheme-custom text-center \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"woodmart-title-container woodmart-text-block reset-last-child font-text wd-font-weight-700 \">\n\t\t\t\t\tSpecific experience in Sovereign Advisory includes\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-66736179eb06a\" class=\"wd-text-block-wrapper wd-wpb wd-rs-66736179eb06a color-scheme-custom text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"woodmart-title-container woodmart-text-block reset-last-child font-text wd-font-weight- \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Structuring, drafting, promotion and offering of petroleum leases to the industry.
