Suriname’s offshore petroleum success is underpinned by established legal frameworks rather than unresolved sovereignty, differentiating it from Greece’s approach. The Production Sharing Contract (PSC) serves not to resolve sovereignty but to facilitate investments within a secure legal environment. This model enhances investor confidence and reduces geopolitical risk, exemplifying the importance of legal certainty in resource…
