الملخص

إن عقود النفط والغاز في إقليم كردستان هي عقود طويلة الأجل، وعملية الاستثمار في النفط بشكل عام وفي إقليم كردستان بشكل خاص تنطوي على مخاطر كبيرة من الناحية الاقتصادية والمالية والقانونية. وليس من المستغرب أن تحدث العديد من التغييرات خلال عمر العقود. فقد تغير حكومة إقليم كردستان بعض سياساتها وأنظمتها المالية ولوائحها، وقد تؤدي مثل هذه التغييرات إلى إحداث تأثير كبير على شركات النفط. ونتيجة لذلك، تحتاج الشركات إلى الحصول على نوع من الحماية ضد مثل هذه التغييرات. ولهذا الغرض، تعتمد بشكل أساسي على الضمانات التعاقدية مثل بنود الاستقرار وإعادة التفاوض لحماية التوازن القانوني والاقتصادي للشركات من خلال منع الإجراءات الأحادية الجانب التي تتخذها حكومة إقليم كردستان. ستناقش هذه الورقة العلمية طريقة صياغة بنود الاتقرار وإعادة التفاوض في عقود النفط لحكومة إقليم كردستان من خلال النهج الوصفي والتحليلي القانوني.
