Trinidad and Tobago Upstream Fiscal and Regulatory Report - Investors to Pay Royalty under New Model PSA
Summary
In November 2018, Trinidad and Tobago launched a shallow water bid round offering six blocks under an updated PSA framework, which includes a 12.5% royalty on gross production, payable by investors. The round is scheduled to close in May 2019 and has been reported to have already received significant interest. Further fiscal reforms including amendments to the Supplemental Petroleum Tax are under consideration, however appear to be of lower priority than gas sector reforms.
