All rights otherwise reserved THE ENERGY CHARTER TREATY The Energy Charter Treaty is a unique legally-binding multilateral instrument covering investment protection, liberalisation of trade, freedom of transit, dispute settlement and environmental aspects in the energy sector. It is designed to promote energy security through the operation of more open and competitive energy markets, while respecting the principles of sustainable development and sovereignty over energy resources. The Treaty is the only agreement of its kind dealing with intergovernmental cooperation in the energy sector, covering the whole energy value chain (from exploration to end use) and all energy products and energy-related equipment. Based on the Energy Charter of 1991, which was a political declaration signalling the intent to strengthen international energy ties, the Energy Charter Treaty was signed in December 1994 and entered into force in April 1998. To date, the Treaty’s membership covers fifty-one states plus the European Communities, which together represent nearly 40% of global GDP. Twenty more states and ten international organisations have the status of observers. Members of the Energy Charter Treaty: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, European Communities, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Mongolia, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan Observers: States: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, China, Canada, Iran, Jordan, Korea, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Venezuela (vertical stripes denote the countries of ASEAN) International Organisations: ASEAN, EBRD, IEA, OECD, UN-ECE, World Bank, WTO, CIS Electric Power Council, BSEC, BASREC FOREWORD Oil and gas are taxed heavily along the supply chain in various ways and for different reasons. Tax revenues from oil and gas exports are a major source of revenue for the governments of oil and gas exporting countries and serve as a compensation for the depletion of a finite resource. In consumer countries revenues from taxes on gasoline and other fuels are often used to develop and maintain road infrastructure and to compensate for environmental impacts. Beyond that, these taxes are considered as a stable source of the budget of the government in view of the low elasticity of demand for oil and gas. This study examines taxation along the oil and gas supply chain from upstream to downstream. In the upstream sector, taxes are only one – albeit an important – instrument of the rent sharing regime. Governments also receive rent through fees, rentals, bonuses, government takes / participations and other fiscal conditions in addition to taxes. In light of high oil and gas prices as well as the perceived implications of “peak oil theory”, the balance of power between governments and investors is tilting towards the government side. In the downstream sector, a range of different categories of downstream taxation are applied to both petroleum products and natural gas, which may vary substantially between different products. This report looks into the arguments both against and in favour of such taxes. It also discusses the relationships between downstream taxation and the international prices of oil and natural gas. The report was written by Professor Philip Wright and Dr Ian Rutledge of the University of Sheffield, and Miharu Kanai, Senior Expert, under the supervision of Ralf Dickel, Director for Trade and Transit. It greatly benefited from discussion with delegates from the Energy Charter member governments in the Trade and Transit Group meetings in February, June and October of 2008. This report is made publicly available under my authority as Secretary General of the Energy Charter Secretariat and without prejudice to the positions of Contracting Parties or to their rights or obligations under the Energy Charter Treaty or the WTO agreements.

Gabriel Collins “Permian Basin Energy Producers Invest in Community Infrastructure: Motivations, Impacts, and Implications for Corporate Citizenship” Permian Basin Energy Producers Invest in Community Infrastructure The Permian Challenge The Permian Basin underlies West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, covering an area larger than the state of South Dakota. New drilling and completion techniques have broken the Permian’s decades-long output decline, and the region now produces more oil per day than every OPEC member country aside from Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Intense oilfield activity has made communities in the basin such as Carlsbad, New Mexico, along with Midland/Odessa, Pecos, and Monahans Texas into boomtowns. Complex policy challenges are arising as “full speed ahead” resource development strains local infrastructure, including roads, schools, hospitals, housing, first responders, and others. These challenges will likely if WTI Midland realized crude oil prices remain between $55 and $65 per barrel on average over the next 3-5 years.
