New Petroleum Code threatens Gabon's deepwater aspirations
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
In early 2014, the government of Gabon gazetted the much delayed Petroleum Code. The big changes proposed include an increase in production royalties, introduction of corporate income taxes and back-in rights for the national oil company. Tightening of fiscal regimes is a recurring trend across Sub-Sahara Africa. However, in other established producing countries like Nigeria and Angola, the fiscal terms were tightened after billion barrel discoveries were made.
