GAS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
RESOURCE BASE
RESOURCE BASE
Reserves are substantial for local
market but not sufficient enough for
classical export schemes
Privatisation of the electricity sector and
the present economic growth have
warranted the promotion of gas-toelectricity projects
The emergence of subregional markets
is an incentive to development of natural
gas projects
INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
Prior to the promulgation of the
Petroleum Code in December 1999,
no legal framework for Gas
Development
The Petroleum Code regulates the
Upstream sector and provides
incentives for gas exploration and
development
INCENTIVES
Possibility of extension of the exploration
period for appraisal of the gas discoveries
and the search for market outlets
Tax holidays for cost recovery for
development and exploitation of natural
Gas
No custom duties for gas development and
exploitation activities
Possibility to negociate economically
viable terms for Gas development projects
