Ecuador holds competitive licensing rounds and offers blocks under service contracts and, more recently, under PSC terms. All existing contracts with private participation operate under service contracts. Service contracts include a negotiable contractor's fee. In addition, technology, labour and corporate income taxes apply on the contractor's service fee. In September 2018, Ecuador launched its first licensing round under new PSC terms. The new PSC does not have royalty or cost oil. The profit sharing mechanism is driven by production and a price-based biddable component. A sovereignty adjustment ensures government share is at least 50%.
