Saudi Arabia's energy sector, from traditional oil and gas to renewable energy projects growing under Vision 2030, operates under special regulatory frameworks fundamentally different from general commercial law: exploration and production licenses, production-sharing agreements, and local content (industrial Saudization) requirements in major contracts.
Energy project contracts (especially renewable energy and green hydrogen within NEOM and other projects) need understanding of complex technical risk allocation (equipment performance, grid connection, long-term power purchase agreements) alongside traditional legal drafting, making this specialty require dual technical and legal understanding.
Major energy projects increasingly face mandatory local content requirements (certain percentages of supply, manufacturing, or employment must be local), and non-compliance can expose the contractor to fines or exclusion from future tenders.
