In 2017, the government introduced a moratorium banning the issue of new exploration licences. The existing concession regime includes a royalty, corporate income tax, solidarity contribution and local levies. Royalty rates and local levies vary with production and the vintage of a fields development. Offshore fields are exempt from royalty and local levies. Royalties and corporate income tax are ring fenced at the licence and company level respectively.
