Valeura Energy will take a prominent role in an Asia-Pacific industry discussion focused on decommissioning risk, transaction structuring and potential disputes in upstream oil and gas.
Kelvin Tang, Valeura Energy’s Executive Vice President, Corporate and General Counsel, is scheduled to speak at an Asia Chapter event in Singapore on 30 September 2026. The session will examine how decommissioning obligations are treated across Asia-Pacific markets and how those obligations can affect mergers, acquisitions and future liabilities.
The topic is directly relevant to companies buying, selling and operating mature upstream assets. Decommissioning costs and responsibilities can remain with an asset long after production decisions have been made, making the allocation of liability a key part of transaction planning.
For Valeura, the discussion is closely aligned with Tang’s background. He has more than 18 years of experience in the international oil and gas sector, covering legal affairs, operations, business development and executive management.
Before joining Valeura, Tang was Head of Business Development at Hibiscus Petroleum. He was previously Chief Executive Officer of KrisEnergy, after serving as Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. KrisEnergy was the predecessor to Valeura’s initial interests in Thailand.
That experience gives Tang direct exposure to many of the issues covered by the event, including acquisition structures, operating responsibilities and the legal treatment of long-term liabilities.
Valeura Energy Inc (TSX:VLE) is an upstream oil & gas company, with a clear strategy to add value for shareholders. The Company has a strong balance sheet positioning it for potential inorganic growth opportunities in the near/medium-term, and substantial longer-term upside potential through an operated deep, tight gas play.
