Description
International exploration and production is challenging and exciting. Negotiating with governments and understanding the dynamics of their fiscal systems and/or production sharing contracts can mean the difference between success and failure. Long-time industry consultant, negotiator and lecturer, Daniel Johnston, provides an extremely clear and practical perspective on:
- international exploration economics and risk analysis,
- petroleum fiscal system analysis and design,
- contract negotiations,
- economic, financial and accounting aspects of: production sharing contracts, and royalty/tax systems.
International Exploration Economics, Risk, and Contracts Analysis is an anthology of articles from Johnston's column in the Petroleum Accounting and Financial Management Journal (PAFMJ) -- Institute of Petroleum Accounting, University of North Texas. While some chapters date back a number of years, the key chapters and concepts have been dramatically updated with detailed examples.
