From the statement below (at the bottom), do I understand correctly.
If a drill site is oil rich, but has some gas, then SPT will be applied to the oil/petroleum sales. However, if a drill site is predominantly gas rich then the oil/petroleum sales are not subject to SPT.
‘Under the Trinidad petroleum tax regime, all petroleum liquids are subject to the supplemental petroleum tax ("SPT") which, at today's oil prices, equates to 18 percent of net petroleum revenues. Petroleum revenues derived from the sale of natural gas are not subject to the SPT. Given that the Company presumed the initial test interval was predominantly oil bearing, the presence of high volumes of natural gas in preliminary testing is encouraging.’
