چکیده

    برچیدن تأسیسات نفتی فرایندی است که به‌موجب آن تصمیم گرفته می‌شود چگونه تأسیساتی که به پایان عمرشان رسیده‌اند جابه‌جا و از رده خارج شوند. این موضوع نسبتاً جدید به‌خصوص از دهۀ 1980م در سطح بین‌المللی توجهات زیادی را به‌ خود جلب کرده و نگرانی‌های عمدۀ دولت‌ها و صنعت نفت به‌طور کلی از آن زمان آغاز شده و تلاش‌های زیادی در جهت تبیین ابعاد مختلف آن صورت گرفته است. اگرچه این تلاش‌ها در روشن شدن ابعاد مختلف این موضوع موثر بوده‌اند، هنوز هم پرسش‌های متفاوتی به‌خصوص در زمینۀ ابعاد حقوقی آن باقی مانده است. پرسش اساسی به این باز می‌گردد که دولت‌ها در سطح بین‌المللی از یک سو، و کارفرمایان و پیمانکاران در قراردادهای توسعه و بهره‌برداری میدان‌های نفتی و گازی از سوی دیگر، نسبت به این موضوع چه تعهدی دارند؟ ازآنجا که در خصوص این موضوع در معاهدات بین‌المللی و منطقه‌ای تعارض وجود داشته و از طرف دیگر، شرایط و مفاد قراردادهای فی‌مابین کارفرمایان و پیمانکاران صنعت نفت و گاز در این خصوص معلوم و مشخص نبوده است، بررسی اسناد مختلف و همین‌طور حقوق داخلی کشورهای پیشرو در این عرصه و و قراردادهای بالادستی نفت و یافتن راه برون‌رفت از تعارض، موضوع اصلی‌ این پؤوهش است.

چکیده [English]

Decommissioning of petroleum installations and platforms is a process to be decided by the parties on how to move or dismantle the installations and platforms that have reached to the end of their lives. Although this is a relatively new topic, it has attracted much attention at the international level especially since 1990. A major concern for governments and industries since that time has been removal of these installations, and for this reason many efforts have been made to explain various aspects of this topic. Although these efforts have been effective in clarifying various aspects of the decommissioning, still many questions especially about its legal and contractual aspects remain. The main question about this topic is, what is the state’s obligation in the international level? In this article, we will study various documents in the international and inter-regional level and also we will study international upstream petroleum contracts as well as domestic laws of the leading countries, e.g. UK and Norway on the issue thereby finding a way for resolving the problems is the main purpose of this paper.
