Simple Production Sharing Contract (PSC)-based fiscal regime, where the State has the option to back in to any commercial development at a 15% equity. Royalty rates are negotiable within a range of 10% to 15% for crude oil and a 2.5% and 5% range for gas. Cost recovery ceilings are negotiable up to a maximum rate, depending on location. Profit-sharing is based on a sliding scale linked to production rate thresholds. Both profit share rates and production thresholds are negotiable.
