产品分成合同在非常规油气合作中的应用初探

Application of Product Sharing Contracts in unconventional oil and gas cooperation

产品分成合同主要是为常规油气的国际合作服务的。非常规油气的国际合作日益活跃,然而,由于非常规油气与常规油气在诸多方面的差异性,常规油气产品分成合同的相关条款已经不再适应非常规油气的合作需求。基于这种情况,分析了非常规油气与常规油气在资源特性、开发生产模式、投资安排和经济性等方面的差异,以及常规产品分成合同应用于非常规油气合作的局限性,并在此基础上提出篱笆圈、总体开发方案、勘探期、生产期等相关条款的调整建议,使产品分成合同能够较好地应对非常规油气合作的挑战。

Currently, Production Sharing Contract（PSC） is mainly used for international cooperation of conventional oil and gas. Though the international cooperation of unconventional oil and gas is increasing active, its relative items is not good for the cooperation requirements of unconventional oil and gas since many differences between these two aspects. In light of this background, this paper conducts a comparison analysis of unconventional and conventional oil and gas in terms of their differences in resource characteristics, development production patterns, investment arrangements as well as economic aspects, analyzes the limitations of the conventional PSC terms applied to the field of unconventional oil and gas, and then puts forward the adjustment proposal of relevant provisions on this basis to make it deal with the challenges in the unconventional oil and gas cooperation well.
