Book: The Surinamese Production Sharing Contract

This publication provides the first comprehensive legal and fiscal analysis of Suriname’s Production Sharing Contract, the framework through which the State, acting via Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V., cooperates with international oil companies.

Drawing on nearly two decades of professional experience in oil & gas taxation and international law, the book explains Suriname’s hybrid PSC structure, its roots in the Indonesian model, and its modern adaptation under the Petroleum Law 1990 and Stabilisation State Decree 2018 No 52.

It serves as both a reference for legal and fiscal professionals and a guide for policymakers and investors seeking to understand how Suriname balances sovereignty, investment, and stability in its petroleum sector.
