Nigeria awards upstream licences to foreign investors under the 2021 Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). Operators with existing licenses before the PIA became law may voluntarily convert to PIA terms. For new investors in oil operations, we expect PSCs will continue to apply, with a cost oil limit of 70%, and the production sharing of liquids based on cumulative production. Gas terms are less clear; we assume simple concession fiscal terms for gas, paying royalty and income tax.
