Frequently Asked Questions

What is cost recovery in oil & gas PSC?

Cost recovery is the mechanism for reimbursing contractor operating costs from production proceeds before splitting between government and contractor. Recoverable costs must meet SKK Migas guidelines, including exploration, development, production, and administrative costs according to approved AFEs.

How is lifting accounting handled in production sharing contracts?

Lifting is recorded based on each contractor's participating interest percentage. Entitlement is calculated from gross production minus FTP and cost recovery, then split according to equity split. DMO (Domestic Market Obligation) of 25% of contractor share must also be accounted for.

Does a joint operation need its own financial statements?

A PSC joint operation is not a legal entity so it does not need separate financial statements, but must prepare monthly Joint Account Statements (JAS) and FQR (Financial Quarterly Report) to SKK Migas. Each contractor records its share in its own financial statements.
