Industry Context
Joint venture (JV) business relationships are very common in the oil and gas industry. The Petroleum
Joint Venture Association (PJVA) defines a petroleum joint venture as an “agreement between two
or more oil and gas companies for the purpose of development and production of oil and gas
properties. The agreement defines the property, most commonly a production facility, the relationship
between the parties and the responsibilities assigned to the parties.”
Two very well known examples of oil and gas joint ventures are Syncrude and Hibernia:
•
November 2009
Syncrude Canada Ltd. operates and administers the Syncrude Project on behalf
of its owners: Canadian Oil Sands Limited, Conoco-Phillips Oil Sand Partnership II,
Imperial Oil Resources, Mocal Energy Limited, Murphy Oil Company Ltd., Nexen Oil
Sands Partnership and Suncor. For more information go to www.cos-trust.com; and

to new technologies and customers. For example, an Asset
Management Team’s strategy to improve
the return-on-investment for a particular production facility
may include forging a joint venture partnership that increases its capacity and/or allows processing
of products from third-party producers in the geographic area.
Joint ventures must be managed effectively, and the timing of key decisions is particularly important,
since changing regulatory, technological, economic and other factors impact operations.
Companies must select the right partners, establish clear objectives and create the appropriate
management structure. They must maintain effective working relationships and deal constructively
with issues that may arise.
Successful joint ventures are more likely when there is due diligence in the design, negotiation,
execution and follow-through of well-constructed agreements. Joint Venture Representatives
of prospective partner companies consider information such as the following when developing
and negotiating agreements:
•
Type, configuration and dollar value of the facility being operated;
•
Amount of activity and possible expansion in the future;
•
Balance of throughput to working interest of the parties involved;
•
Products involved;
•
Operator and non-operator composition; and
•
Cost structures and fees.
Industry Model Agreements
PJVA, in partnership with industry, has developed model agreements to standardize some
of the formal documentation required. Exceptions and any unique requirements are attached
as appendices, schedules and exhibits to these standard agreements.
November 2009
Page 4 of 20
Available joint venture model agreements include:
•
Construction, ownership and operating (CO&O);
•
Gas handling;
•
Common stream operating;
•
Contract well operating;
•
Unit and unit operating; and
•
Well effluent processing and water disposal.
Joint venture agreements are complex, and specialized expertise is required to construct them
properly. For example, a typical CO&O Agreement includes the following:
November 2009
•
Interpretation, e.g. provides definitions of terminology used throughout the contract;
•
Purpose of Agreement;
•
Basis of Participation;
•
Deliverability Commitments;
•
Supervision and Control of Joint Operations, e.g. outlines the operating committee,
voting procedure, meetings and sub-committees;
•
Appointment and Replacement of the Operator, e.g. outlines duties of the operator,
resignation and replacement, appointment of a successor, transfer of property
on a change, inventory and audit of accounts and assignment of operatorship;
•
Functions and Duties of the Operator, e.g. outlines control and management of joint
operations and subcontracting;
•
Indemnity and Liability, e.g. outlines the limits of liability, indemnification of the operator,
burden of responsibility and environmental responsibilities;
•
Accounting Measures, e.g. outlines the joint account details, operator’s lien and remedies,
reimbursement of operator, commingling of funds and forecasts;
•
Measurement, e.g. outlines accuracy, the unit of volume and weight, determination
of volumes and change of measurement methodology;
•
Production and Facility Products, e.g. outlines the owner’s share of facility products,
losses in handling, flaring and operation of the facility, fuel gas usage, disposition
of facility products, distribution of proceeds, audit by a non-taking owner, indemnification
for royalties and other payments and warranty by owners;
Page 5 of 20
•
Disposal of Facility Interest, e.g. outlines the disposal of an interest in the facility,
financing, admission of new owners, disposal of interest documentation and change
of name;
•
Term and Termination, e.g. outlines the term, termination, salvage and disposition,
proceeds and costs;
•
General Provisions, e.g. outlines notices, compliance with laws and regulations, governing
law, statute of limitations, further assurances, confidentiality and business conduct; and
•
Appendices, e.g. including descriptions of the facility and functional units, a map and
schematic, the accounting procedure, structure and sharing of the joint account, capacity
usage, insurance, facility product allocation procedures, measurement, investment values,
dispute resolution and environmental matters.
Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen (CAPL) Operating Procedure
The “CAPL Operating Procedure” documents the business relationship between joint owners
of petroleum and natural gas (P&NG) rights. This procedure is most useful in situations involving
simple self-contained facilities and is available at www.landman.ca. Note that working interest owners
may opt to establish a CO&O Agreement to govern more complex production facilities.
Recommended Practice – Fees Determination (JP-05 Guidelines)
Joint venture professionals must calculate, negotiate, justify and debate facility fees such
as processing, compression and transportation fees that are detailed in the various agreements.
In some instances, the negotiation of fees has proved so challenging that disputes have been
escalated to regulatory authorities for resolution.
“JP-05” was developed as a recommended practice and methodology to help parties reach
agreement about fees, using an effective negotiation process. For more information,
go to http://www.pjva.ca.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Guidelines
As a norm, parties must address issues about operating procedures and land, accounting and audit,
joint venture, facilities and marketing, and regulatory and compliance. A “Let’s Talk Handbook” has
been developed to provide Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) guidelines for each of these
scenarios. This document can be viewed online at the Company2Company ADR Council’s website
at www.c2cadr.org.
Standard Terms and Conditions
Clauses about notices, liability and indemnity, force majeure, dispute resolution, applicable law
and further assurances are addressed in most agreements, while other contract terms such
as measurement provisions, fees and termination provisions may vary given the circumstance.
November 2009

The PJVA’s “Standard Terms and Conditions” streamline the effort required to develop product
handling service agreements. More information is available at www.pjva.ca.
Joint venture negotiation and management of these important partnerships are complex undertakings
that have major implications to the businesses involved and to their stakeholders.
Successful joint ventures require the right partners, clear and mutually beneficial objectives
and the appropriate management structure. Execution and follow through of contracted agreements
and ongoing relationship management are extremely important.
Joint Venture Representatives play key roles in the process, from concept through execution phases.
The next section of this profile features some typical specialist roles in the oil and gas industry.

Work Opportunities and Typical Career Path
Career Advancement and Occupational Options
Individuals can work in engineering, field operations, land management and other functional areas
in the industry before transferring to this type of work. Or, they can begin their careers in a land
management or joint venture group.
The typical career path involves movement through junior, intermediate and senior Joint Venture
Representative roles. Advancement opportunities vary depending on educational qualifications
and work experience, and include progression to supervisory and management positions.
Employment Outlook
The oil and gas industry is key to Canada’s economy and with many people retiring over the coming
decade, the industry is expected to hire for years to come. The number of people retiring already
outnumbers those joining the industry today.
The Petroleum Human Resources Council has generated medium to long-term industry validated
labour market information that forecasts employment demand to 2020 for exploration, development,
production, service industries, pipeline transmission, gas processing and mining, and extracting
and upgrading heavy oil (in situ) and bitumen. Overall, oil sands operations are expected to provide
the most new employment opportunities, while conventional oil and gas activity is projected
to decrease over time and not return to the peak experienced in 2006.
In addition, the service and pipeline sectors are expected to provide increasing support to the heavy
oil (in situ) extraction within the oil sands.
Provincial government websites may include relevant employment outlook information
at www.jobfutures.ca.
