Report summary
The Petroleum Law introduced in 2015 states that all future licences will be production sharing contracts (PSCs), and will be awarded via licensing rounds. No contracts have been signed under the 2015 Petroleum Law and it is still in the bidding phase. The Petroleum Law splits the country up into yet-to-be-defined zones (A, B, C, and D). The actual tax rates are biddable and will be defined via competitive tender in the licensing rounds. The new PSC comprises royalty, super profit oil (SPO), cost recovery, excess cost oil, and profit share. State equity is minimum 20%. Corporate income tax (CIT) will be paid by the government.
