Exploring Petroleum for Production is Expensive, Needs Specialized Processes and Expertise, and the Risk of Not Finding Commercially Exploitable Reserves is Very High. Generally, Government organizations are not tuned to perform effectively on such business ventures and resources may also be limited. So the Government (acting under its National Oil Company NOCs) as the owner of the Underground Petroleum Resources hires an Exploration & Production (E&P) Contractor to Invest his own money, to do such exploration, bear all the risks, pay some fees for this right and data provided, and if commercially viable petroleum is found within a certain period, and extracted within another mentioned period, part Produced Oil will go to reimburse the Contractor for his Allowable Costs (Cost Oil) and from the remaining oil (Profit Oil) the government will take a percentage share of the petroleum (in place of royalties and taxes). Cost recovery is usually 50%+ of the production.
Many complexities are included in these arrangements and calculations. PSAs may have provisions to convert themselves to Risk Sharing Contracts at Option of the National Oil Companies NOCs.
The PSA Contract Conditions will be discussed in detail including Understanding the Contract Condition, its interpretation, enforceable changes that can be made to this condition, contract administration aspects, record keeping aspects, possible disputes and their resolution.
