Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Summarizes the reserve base and recent exploration and production trends and the agreements between African governments and oil companies. Concludes that a production-sharing scheme incorporating a resource rent tax is the type of contractual relationship most likely to be consistent with long term stability. They also facilitate the objectives of governments such as involvement in decision making and labour training.-from Author
