The civil war in Yemen has halted external O&G investment and the recent Houthi attacks have exacerbated issues. While our risk premia remains 20%, the increased likelihood that Iran's theocracy may be toppled gives rise to hopes that the Iranian-funded terrorists in the country will soon lack the funds to continue fighting, and new opportunities may present themselves. We upgrade our Outlook to Neutral.

PSC/PSA
Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") based fiscal regime. The Yemen Oil Company ("YOC") has the right to take a carried equity interest of between 5% and 25% upon a commercial discovery. Production rates determine royalty and production-sharing splits. Cost recovery ceilings are variable, and a range of bonuses, rentals, and fees are payable.
Yemen’s daunting economic challenges are made worse by ongoing political turmoil. Civil conflict has devastated the economy and destroyed critical infrastructure. Even before the current conflict, mismanagement and corruption had resulted in chronic poverty, underdevelopment, and minimal access to such basic services as electricity, water, and health care in much of the country.
