Trinidad Approves New Positive Fiscal Incentives
Trinidad Approves New Positive Fiscal Incentives
Range is pleased to confirm that, further to announcement of 16 September 2013,
the Government of Trinidad and Tobago has approved and adopted the proposed
budget incentives for oil and gas companies introduced by the Minister of
Finance and Economy of Trinidad and Tobago in the 2014 Budget Statement. These
newly proposed budget incentives, which especially reward companies with
accelerated development and exploration programmes including Range, are
expected to have a significant positive impact on the Company's cash flows and
returns from its ongoing production growth. These changes will be effective
retrospectively from January 1, 2014.
Commenting on today's announcement, Rory Scott Russell, CEO, said:
"Range is fully committed to growing its business in Trinidad and we are
therefore delighted with the ratification of these new positive fiscal
incentives. Operating in a favourable economic environment will bring
significant benefits to the Company as we continue to increase production and
unlock value from our core development assets in Trinidad."
The key changes to the fiscal regime that impact Range can be found in the
table at the end of this announcement.
