JDZ frame work compared with AKPO The JDZ tax rules and royalties seems to be more favourable to producers than in AKPO (Nigeria). I do not know details only heard rumours like that. If these rumours are true, the price per future P 2/ P 3 barrel in the JDZ should be higher than the P 2 / P 3 barrel price in AKPO. Additional the JDZ (as an international treaty region) is not included in any OPEC quotas. This should help also the price per barrel.
