Competing for investment: Asia-Pacific fiscal systems at a glance

We believe marginal fields, enhanced recovery projects, gas developments and deepwater exploration are areas that could benefit from more targeted fiscal terms. In this slide pack, we benchmark fiscal terms across the region and analyse key fiscal developments in the last two years.
