Production Sharing Contract ("PSC")-based fiscal regime, where royalty rates and profit oil splits vary with production rates, with some incentives for deep-water operations. Cost recovery is negotiable. The contractor is liable for income tax, and there is an additional profits tax (the Supplementary Tax) which is based upon project profitability.

China has dramatically increased its role in the past few years with a variety of infrastructure investments. Investors should proceed with caution, realizing that the potential for high profits comes with significant risk.
