Upstream licences are awarded under production sharing contract (PSC) terms, governed by the 2019 Petroleum Law. The application and awarding of licences are negotiated through bids submitted in licensing rounds or by direct negotiation. The state is entitled to a maximum 10% stake in any PSC, comprising a carried interest through the exploration phase. The state has the option for this equity to be carried through development and production phases. The main biddable terms are profit sharing, cost recovery, state participation and royalties. Corporate income tax is no longer payable, as it had been under the repealed 2014 petroleum code.
