I have read the Information Sheet concerning this project and understand what it is

am free to request further information at any stage.
I know that:
1. My participation in the project is entirely voluntary;
2. I am free to withdraw from the project at any time without any disadvantage;
3. Data obtained as a result of the research will be retained for at least 5 years in
secure storage. Any personal information will be destroyed at the completion of
the research even though the data derived from the research will, in most cases,
be kept for much longer or possibly indefinitely.
4. The interview will be about my experiences of and views on Oil and Gas Social
Investments. This project involves an open-questioning technique. The precise
nature of the questions which will be asked have not been determined in advance,
but will depend on the way in which the interview develops and that in the
event that the line of questioning develops in such a way that I feel hesitant or
uncomfortable I may decline to answer any particular question(s) and/or may
withdraw from the project without any disadvantage of any kind.
5. The results of the project will be used in Rafaela Rabello’s PhD thesis and
scientific articles and they will be available in the University of Otago Library
