The Caspian Sea's legal status: what does this mean for oil and gas?
Report summary
On 12 August, the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea will be signed by the heads of the five littoral states – Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan – at the latest summit in Aktau, Kazakhstan. This is an unprecedented milestone for the region, which has long disputed the thorny issue of whether the Caspian is a sea or lake. But, the implications for the energy sector – upstream and midstream - will prove less immediate and less significant than may appear.
