The recent dramatic fall in oil prices has led to extensive capital rationing in international oil companies, and subsequent fierce competition between resource extraction countries to attract scarce investment. This situation is not adequately addressed by the large literature on international...

Financial leasing is prevalent in LNG projects. Actually, in many LNG infrastructure projects, leasing is the only option for oil companies. A common approach in such settings is to treat financial leasing costs as operating cost and discount with the firm's weighted average cost of capital...

Topical issues in petroleum tax design are in this chapter discussed by means of a tax model for a net income tax system (Norway) and a representative PSA regime. We analyse the entire life cycle of a typical petroleum project, i.e., the exploration decision is included. Many petroleum tax...

Petroleum administration can be regarded as a principal-agent problem. The government allocates exploration and production rights to petroleum companies on behalf of the population. The government is the principal and the companies are agents. With the aim of capturing revenue for the state, the...

Socio-economic criteria for climate projects have been used in analysing the value of the climate benefit of a reduction in CO2. These reports are optimistic, yet CCS demonstration plants are not implemented as expected. Little attention has been devoted to profitability assessments based on...

The recent fall in oil prices has led to extensive capital rationing, and thereby given rise to a renewed focus on parameters for project selection which supplement net present value. While the financial crisis was creating capital constraints, the oil industry seemed to be paying great...
