Overview
This LLM International Petroleum Taxation and Finance (distance learning) from University of Dundee looks at the choices governments make in balancing resource taxes and corporate taxes and the share of production retained by the state.

- limited recourse financing of petroleum projects
- how different investors have different financing needs, and the implications for the investor group
