Energy infrastructure sits at the centre of today’s geopolitical tensions. The war in Ukraine, sanctions regimes affecting Russia and Iran, instability in the Middle East and disrupted supply chains have placed energy projects under unprecedented pressure. Gas supply contracts, pipelines, LNG facilities and power projects increasingly operate in an environment where geopolitical decisions can abruptly disrupt long-term commercial arrangements.

This session focuses specifically on energy-sector disputes arising from these developments.

The panel are expected to discuss:

• Disruption of long-term gas and LNG supply agreements
• Infrastructure disputes arising from the Russia–Ukraine conflict
• Sanctions affecting energy projects and joint ventures
• Force majeure, hardship and price review claims in energy contracts
• Enforcement challenges involving sanctioned entities
• The role of arbitration in maintaining stability in global energy markets
