ABOUT US Azeri Product Sharing Agreement ('PSA') ABOUT US GROUP STRATEGY BOARD OF DIRECTORS MANAGEMENT AZERI PSA HOMEABOUT USAZERI PSA The PSA is a revenue sharing contract modelled on Azerbaijan’s oil contract system, which was established to ensure the country benefited from its oil wealth in the presence of international oil company investment and exploitation. It is an established agreement adhered to by international companies which operate in the region – for example Exxon Mobil and BP, and facilitates the extraction of resource wealth for the benefit of all parties. The PSA grants the Company a number of periods to exploit defined licence areas, known as Contract Areas, agreed on the initial signing with the Azerbaijan Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources (‘MENR’). The exploration period allowed for the early exploration of the Contract Areas to assess prospectivity can be extended. A ‘development and production period’ commences on the date that the Company issues a notice of discovery, which runs for 15 years with two extensions of five years each at the option of the Company.
