Produced in partnership with Wood Mackenzie

Uncertain regulatory frameworks and inadequate governance have also hindered market development.

This report analyses three key factors that influence investment decisions in the region – upstream pricing, fiscal terms, and state participation to determine which countries offer the best combination of investor-friendly gas policies and top tier prospectivity.
