Course Description

The course will cover the theoretical underpinnings of upstream taxation with a focus on economic rent. It will then look at the varying applications of that theory first within the contractual arrangements (ie. Production Sharing Agreements) with a focus on applicability of royalties, bonus payments, cost oil, and profit oil splits; then second in the UK Continental Shelf, where the focus will be on Petroleum Revenue Tax, Ring Fence Corporation Tax, and Supplementary Charge.
