According to the Income Tax Law each EPSC will represent a separate Extractive Industry Qualified Taxpayer (QEIT), see Article 84 of the Income Tax Law. Furthermore, each well in the Contract Area is to be treated as a separate QEIT asset, and each year’s investment in such asset amortized separately with its own, separate amortization schedule. There is no ring-fence within the Contract Area apart from the above.
