Course Overview The relationship between Host Governments and Operating Companies is created by contract. It is not uncommon for these contracts to have both commercial and regulatory aspects. Host Governments have employed several basic approaches for conferring the right to undertake petroleum exploration and production on Operating Companies. More than 25 percent of petroleum producing countries have adopted the Production Sharing Contract (PSC), and it is particularly popular in among emerging nations that export petroleum. The PSC is also the most favoured form petroleum development agreement among international Operating Companies. This 3 day course will cover and compare legal and fiscal systems, commercial issues, various PSC and related agreements, the governance and management of PSCs, audits, dispute resolution as well as enhancements and improvements in PSC terms.

DAY 1 A key aspect to a State s exercise of its sovereignty over its territory is the adoption of a fiscal system that governs the exploration, development and production of petroleum resources. A State can choose to retain a national monopoly over the development of petroleum resources through its instrumentalities, such as a national oil company. Alternatively, it can take the role of a Host Government by granting those rights to Operating Companies from the private sector. Most often, the degree of risk and level of financial commitment required in conducting petroleum operations, particularly exploration, has meant that the later approach to a fiscal system is taken.

DAY 2 The term of the PSC is typically divided into two periods: Exploration Period that may be for a term of seven years; & Production Period that may be for a term of twenty-five years. Under some PSC s it is possible to have the Exploration Period extended for a designated portion of a Contract Area by an additional five years. The extension can be granted, if a gas discovery has at least a sufficient amount of recoverable reserves, and further operations are needed to identify additional reserves to support an export project.

Although the PSC addresses a variety of issues, other agreements are necessary to implement the arrangements that flow from PSC operations. The development of petroleum resources can create business opportunities in the local economy. Many PSC s contain provisions that are intended to provide local business with the ability to supply goods and services to Petroleum Companys. Petroleum operations involve a variety of services (drilling, seismic, well logging, construction, and consulting services) that are performed by independent Petroleum Companies according to the terms and conditions of Service Contracts. Generally, these contracts are arranged and administered by the Operator on behalf of the participants e.g. joint venture working interests.
