In the oil and gas industry, Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) represent a widely used contractual model, particularly in resource-rich countries. These agreements define the relationship between the state and private oil companies, ensuring that risks and rewards are shared in the development and production of petroleum resources. PSCs are critical for managing large-scale exploration and production projects, providing legal and operational frameworks that protect both the state's interests and the investment of private contractors. Understanding the intricacies of production-sharing contracts is vital for professionals involved in contract negotiation, project management, and legal advisory within the energy sector.
