The Surinamese Production Sharing Contract — Free Video Course

This free video series explains Suriname's Production Sharing Contract (PSC) — the legal and fiscal instrument at the heart of the country's offshore petroleum sector. It traces the PSC from its Indonesian origins to the Staatsolie Model PSC (2021) and works through the contract article by article: cost recovery and the R-Factor, royalty and profit oil, taxation and the Stabilisation Decree, governance, local content and dispute resolution.

The series accompanies the book of the same name by Siegfried G. Kenswil LL.M. Slides, the fiscal model and further resources are below. For advisory enquiries, feel free to get in touch
