Construction Energy Development

by Scott Gaille

Construction Energy Development describes the commercial arrangements used by energy companies to build pipelines and other facilities. The costs of construction—and the profits earned by a contractor—are a direct function of the interplay between key provisions in specialized agreements. Scott Gaille distills his experience negotiating energy procurement and construction agreements into a comprehensive overview of typical contract provisions. Construction Energy Development is the third book in Gaille’s Energy Development series, which he uses to teach the fundamentals of energy development at Rice University’s Graduate School of Business and The University of Chicago Law School.
