Extraction of natural resources

The extraction of natural resources is a highly regulated field where activity is impossible without special subsoil use permits, compliance with environmental requirements and interaction with state authorities. Properly secured rights to subsoil and land, together with a correct project structure, determine whether a company can extract lawfully and without interruption.

GOLAW supports companies engaged in the exploration and extraction of natural resources — from obtaining permit documentation to structuring concession and lease projects and interacting with regulators.

When this service is needed

• A subsoil use permit or an exploration/extraction permit needs to be obtained
• A concession, lease or joint extraction project is being planned
• Environmental or permit requirements for the activity arise
• Rights to subsoil and land need to be structured for a project

Why it matters

Extraction activity without properly secured subsoil permits creates the risk of a project being halted, fines and loss of investment. Timely securing of rights and accounting for environmental requirements protects the project from regulatory risks and ensures its uninterrupted implementation.
