Angola has introduced new fiscal incentives for incremental offshore oil projects to boost investment and production. The improved terms include lower tax rates, higher cost recovery ceilings, and reduced government profit share for qualifying projects. To assess the implications, we analysed four model fields representing potential infill or tieback projects. Our analysis shows the incentives significantly enhance project economics, increasing contractor NPV by US$2-5 per barrel. Different value drivers emerge for each project type. The incentives aim to unlock smaller infill and tieback opportunities at mature assets. They demonstrate Angola's proactive approach to maintaining its upstream sector.
