This chapter provides a short overview of useful resources for
lawyers acting as advocates in international oil and gas disputes. It
also presumes to suggest specific basic reference materials—books,
articles, and papers—covering certain core subjects of frequent
importance to lawyers engaged in international oil and gas
arbitrations for or with States and national oil companies. The list of
resources is of course not exhaustive and at least some of the
websites are already well known. A diverse group of sources is
included, from online publications, to professional and industry
associations, to international agencies and organizations, among
others. The common element among the several resources listed
remains the focus on oil & gas issues. Resources appear in
alphabetical order, followed in the second part of this article by
suggested reference materials by subject matter.
