Ghana Upstream Fiscal and Regulatory Report - First licensing round to test new fiscal terms
Summary
In October 2018, Ghana launched its first licensing round to gauge investor appetite for its newly introduced upstream fiscal and regulatory framework. The round is scheduled to close in May 2019 and offers six offshore blocks. Royalties, which are biddable under the new regime combined with the additional oil entitlement (which acts as a windfall tax) will determine the competitiveness of future petroleum agreements and the fiscal burden faced by winning bidders.
