ABSTRACT

Facing flattening international oil prices in the next years (due to a combination of changing industry fundamentals, pandemics effects and the challenges of the global low-carbon energy transition), oil frontier countries are reviewing their petroleum exploration and production fiscal systems to increase their attractiveness to private investment. This article analyses certain open resource allocation systems by comparing the recently launched Brazilian offering to similar systems already existing in Colombia, India and Uruguay. The comparison focuses on four driving forces behind the adoption of open resource allocation systems: energy security, local economic development, government take and the so-called green paradox (reflecting the race to monetize petroleum reserves ahead of stricter climate change international regulations). Findings show that each of the analysed countries has its own target for designing a permanent offering, although the same driving forces can be found in more than one of the countries.

石油上游活动开放面积资源分配系统背后的驱动力：巴西、哥伦比亚、印度和乌拉圭之间的比较评估

摘要

面对未来几年国际油价趋于平缓（由于不断变化的行业基本面、流行病影响和全球低碳能源转型的挑战），石油前沿国家正在审查其石油勘探和生产财政体系以增加其吸引力对私人投资。本文通过将巴西最近推出的产品与哥伦比亚、印度和乌拉圭已经存在的类似系统进行比较，分析了某些开放资源分配系统。比较侧重于采用开放资源分配系统背后的四个驱动力：能源安全、地方经济发展、政府采取和所谓的绿色悖论（反映了在更严格的气候变化国际法规之前将石油储备货币化的竞赛）。
