This book analyses the legal obstacles associated with the advancement of unitization processes and procedures at a national, domestic level.It uses case studies of identified jurisdictions with relevant States practice and unitization experience in terms of the domestic legal framework and practices. For experience in unitization, the book will focus on the following countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Norway, Brazil, Mexico, Ghana and Nigeria. Focusing on best practices which have influenced the development of the unitization concept, the book looks at the formulation of different models and operating agreements, and their potential impact on unexplored hydrocarbon resources, particularly in cases where unitization is necessary.The book will be of interest to practitioners, scholars and students in the field of natural resource law, international law and unitization.

Most of the world's maritime boundary disputes involve privately held rights - relating to such matters as fishing, petroleum exploration and scientific research - that states have unilaterally granted to non-state actors in areas of overlapping national claims. An international lawyer would typically investigate the legality of a state's decision to create such rights without notifying or consulting its neighbour, and the legal consequences this action would have for the interests of the states concerned. Departing from this approach, Dr Marianthi Pappa examines such situations from the perspective of the non-state actors: what will happen to private rights in a disputed maritime area if it changes hands from state A to state B due to a subsequent delimitation treaty or judgment? Does the legal framework of maritime delimitation protect those rights effectively against a potential reallocation? To address these questions, the book considers the place that private rights have in land boundary-making.
