REMARKS
The estimated investment amount refers to approved investments, which are those that operators estimate they will carry out in the various plans, as applicable (exploration, evaluation, and/or development).

Oil and gas extraction contracts may or may not generate revenue if the operator finds commercially extractable resources in the assigned area. In case the operator finds and extracts hydrocarbons, he must pay the State the percentage of production that he offered in the tender, once costs are recovered.

The State is partner with the contractor. The contributions to the State are:
1. Royalties
2. Operating profit, a percentage is shared with the investors

There are two possible extensions in the contract term subject to the area being in regular commercial production. The first extension of 5 years and a second extension for an additional 5 years.
