This document discusses security challenges for oil and gas infrastructure and how developing local content strategies can help address them. It notes that oil and gas facilities are capital intensive and vulnerable to attacks from groups seeking to undermine stability or gain control over oil wealth. Developing the local economy through workforce training, supplier development and technology transfer can reduce unrest, as local populations will feel they are benefiting from the industry. If revenues are reinvested to create jobs and opportunities outside the oil sector, countries will be less dependent on oil and less prone to instability when prices fluctuate or attacks occur. Overall, local content is most effective for enhancing security when it leads to diversification and inclusive economic development.
Ghana, Africa’s ‘model’ democracy, ‘donor darling’ and one of the fastest growing economies in the world, joined the exclusive club of oil producing countries in 2010. Expectations have been high amongst Ghanaian politicians, its citizens and the international community that oil and gas will be the catalyst that propels Ghana to become an ‘African Tiger’ and finally take its place amongst prosperous middle-income countries in the world. Early indications however suggest that Ghana may miss another opportunity for economic transformation that would address exclusion and growing inequality. It appears rather that competitive electoral politics and clientelism are combining in very debilitating ways to render institutions, bureaucracy and domestic capitalist weak, governance personalized and the approach to policy-making short term thereby limiting the prospects for inclusive development. Using primary research, this research tracks the early impact of oil on the politics of inclusive development in Ghana and the implications for long-term development.

This document discusses choosing between a service contract and joint venture for an oil and gas transaction worth $50-250 million in Africa or Asia. It outlines the key elements of each type of agreement, including their advantages and disadvantages for governments and international oil companies. Examples of past service contracts in Asia include those in Malaysia and Iran, while examples in Africa include contracts in Nigeria. For a transaction of this size, a service contract may be more appropriate than a joint venture due to lower costs.
This document discusses addressing corruption in the natural resources sector through an evidence-based framework. It notes that corruption is a symptom of institutional failure. The framework involves conducting an in-depth diagnostic of corruption risks at different stages, from licensing to revenue management. Transparency is important but must be comprehensive across the resource value chain. Civil society participation also matters for accountability. Most countries do not meet satisfactory governance standards for natural resources.
This document summarizes global trends in oil and gas contracts. It discusses that typically, petroleum contracts allocate ownership rights and responsibilities between states and investors. The contracts also outline fiscal terms, environmental protections, and other key provisions. Recently there have been trends of increasing government take of revenues as prices rise, greater transparency requirements in contracts, and debates around stabilizing fiscal terms versus allowing legal changes. Local content policies aim to benefit local economies but must balance protectionism with competitiveness.
Well managed oil and gas development depends on both strong contracts and governance. Governance promotes transparency and prevents corruption, while contracts establish clear roles and responsibilities between states and contractors. Examples provided discuss the importance of governance principles like accountability, transparency and sustainable development. Case studies show different approaches, from Norway's transparency and permanent oil fund, to improvements in Indonesia following reforms. Strong contracts and laws are needed to balance governance weaknesses.
This document discusses reforming fossil fuel prices to account for environmental costs through carbon taxes. It finds that a $35 per ton carbon tax would meet most countries' Paris Agreement emissions reduction pledges and increase energy prices by 5-15%. While this places a moderately regressive burden on households, the bottom income quintile would bear less than 10% of the burden from removing fuel subsidies. The document recommends compensating low-income households through targeted benefits and subsidies to make the reforms less regressive. It also stresses the need for reform plans to reallocate tax revenues and strengthen social safety nets.

Successful Local Content Strategies Presentation Tanzania Feb 2015Jessica Kyeyune
The document summarizes key points about developing local content strategies for oil and gas industries in order to maximize economic benefits and avoid the resource curse. Some key points:
- Local content strategies aim to increase local employment, procurement of local supplies/services, and development of local supplier capacity. However, overambitious goals can backfire if local capabilities are not ready.
- Countries like Norway, UK, Brazil have had success through partnerships with oil companies that transfer skills/technology and focus on national value creation rather than just ownership.
- Managing public expectations is important to avoid negative consequences of unfulfilled expectations like debt, rent-seeking, and public distrust. Transparency about challenges and lessons from other countries can

Beyond Oil: Wither the Nigerian Economy - MuhtarRealnewsMag
Speech presented by Mansur Muhtar, vice president, Islamic Development Bank and former Nigerian minister of finance at the 7th Anniversary Lecture of Realnews on November 19, 2019.
The document discusses local content requirements in Myanmar's oil and gas sector. It provides examples from other countries on developing local content strategies and recommendations. Ghana's local content laws require minimum thresholds for local employment and procurement that increase over time. The document also describes initiatives in Ghana and Tanzania to boost local SME capacity and link them to opportunities in the oil and gas industry.
The document discusses the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which promotes transparency around oil, gas, and mineral resource extraction. It notes that many resource-dependent countries are facing fiscal crises due to falling commodity prices and the COVID-19 pandemic. The EITI establishes a global standard for transparency and accountability in the extractives sector. It requires disclosure of payments, contracts, production data, and more. Implementing countries set up multi-stakeholder groups to oversee EITI implementation and ensure data is communicated to the public. The EITI is working to expand transparency to new areas like commodity trading, subnational revenue distribution, and environmental reporting.
The presentation was done as a project for a MOOC progamme conducted by the World Bank on Coursera.

These trends will reshape the mining industry and mining companies need to adapt through new business strategies and solutions
The Future of Mining as presented during the 2013 Mining Convention in Peru (PERUMIN) by Diego Areces, VP Mining, Minerals and Metals Solutions, Schneider Electric
This document discusses the natural resource curse known as "Dutch disease" where countries with abundant natural resources experience slower economic growth compared to countries with fewer natural resources. It provides examples of how discovery and export of oil and gas led to economic issues in the Netherlands, Nigeria, Russia, Azerbaijan, and other countries. The specific factor model is presented to explain how revenue from the booming natural resource sector can appreciate the currency, draw resources from the manufacturing sector, and harm competitiveness. Ways that countries like Norway have tried to mitigate Dutch disease through sovereign wealth funds and policies to diversify the economy are also examined.
1) 'Bunkering' refers to the illegal practice in Nigeria of tapping into oil pipelines to steal oil, with estimates that 10% of Nigeria's annual oil production is lost this way.
2) Nigeria underwent economic reforms between 2007-2015 focused on fiscal discipline, privatization, reducing fuel subsidies, and anti-corruption efforts.
3) Key drivers of reform included Obasanjo's election, years of growth, high oil prices, and business interests of political elites wanting to dismantle state enterprises. However, challenges remain in strengthening accountability and generating wider benefits from reforms.
The Future of Trade 2022 is the fourth edition of DMCC’s biennial flagship report on the changing nature of global trade. In it, we examine the impact of technology, global economic trends, and geopolitics on the future of trade,
with a focus on trade growth, supply chains, trade finance, infrastructure, and sustainability. The report presents updated scenarios for how trade will develop in 2022 and
beyond, relevant for any reader involved in trade, trade policy, international investment, and the operation of businesses with global value chains.
The document discusses India's development strategy prior to 1991 which focused on mixed economy and state control of key industries like coal, steel, and power. While this led to growth in certain areas, it also had negative aspects like slow industrial growth and rising government expenditure. This necessitated reforms through liberalization, privatization, and globalization which aimed to relax rules for private sectors, reduce public sectors, and integrate India's economy globally. The strategies involved opening industries to private players, selling public enterprises, and removing trade barriers. The document outlines the processes, advantages, and disadvantages of each reform component.

How GVCs are changing the international trade and what policies Nigeria can s...Cynthia Onyinyechi Igodo
1) Global value chains (GVCs) describe the range of activities involved in designing, producing, marketing and distributing a good or service from conception to the end consumer.
2) Nigeria's economy is highly dependent on exporting commodities like oil and agricultural products, but it needs to transition to more sophisticated participation in GVCs through basic manufacturing and processing.
3) For Nigeria to effectively integrate into GVCs, policies need to focus on improving infrastructure, strengthening intellectual property protections, easing access to financing, and reforming customs and border procedures.

Understand the strengths and weaknesses of local
enterprises to ensure policy responsiveness
Promote programs to upgrade and train local companies to
meet the stringent QHSE requirements
Create institutions that focus on R&D and Set up long-term
plans to support and finance R&D.
Provide tangible benefits for oil and gas companies to hire
and train young graduates - eg. tax rebates, royalty changes
Access to low cost finance

19. There is no “Ideal model” to export to other countries
The most successful countries have 40% – 80%
Brazil, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Norway
Many are struggling to reach 25%-30%
Nigeria, Angola, Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia, Libya
2
What level to aim for?
20. Shell placed 70% of all contracts with Nigerian owned
firms until 2002-2003
Value creation in the country was only some 5 - 15%
Sourced work outside Nigeria, acted as middlemen
for profit
Over ambitious Local Content Strategies may hurt
economies.
• Ghana 90% in 10 years, IOCs divesting-Nigeria, Brazil Revisiting
Local ownership is no guarantee for value addition
21. Has Legislation increased local participation?
Brazil – Petrobras:
Active involvement in the industry from its formation
Acquired technology in deep water drilling thru international
expertise.
Malaysia :
Formed partnerships with international oil companies;
Local industry gained best practice & management skills
Cutting edge technologies used by oil companies.
Norway :
Openness towards international companies
A strong focus on national value creation.
Technology agreements to fund R&D
Existing capabilities & competitive strengths were leveraged.
21
23. Working Effectively with other Departments
Procurement& Contracts:
Ensure business opportunities
to local firms
Land Acquisition:
Fair & Equitable Process
QHSE:
Ensure environmental
integrity, Safety & Security
Local Content:
Ensure utilisation of local
goods/services, training &
technology transfer
Corporate Social Responsibility:
Implement community projects &
improve livelihood
Human Resources:
Employment
opportunities &
Compliance with Labour
Laws
Community Liaisons:
Restoration of Livelihood
and grievance handling
24. High expectations can lead to several negative
consequences:
A disappointed, and therefore a disengaged public
An indebted government that has borrowed
against possible incoming revenues
Increase of rent seeking; and
General mistrust within the society.
These consequences need to be managed accordingly.
Managing Expectations
25. Economic and Political Instability
When people are out of work they are more
susceptible to violence
Supports Insurgents
Steal & Sell; Extortion; Political Alliances
Increases Separatism
Massive revenues, little disbursement of wealth
Under-represented locals bear brunt of costs
26. Addressing the Political Effects
Build institutions for managing resources
Direct benefits of oil revenues to citizens
Involve principal stakeholders in developing plans
Strong civil society to monitor development
Transparency – EITI, PWYP

28. Local Content Strategy for Security
Stop focusing on specific threats; focus on vulnerabilities
Be prepared that enemies will use our technologies
against us.
Enemies find the holes, the weaknesses in our
society…
and they exploit them to harm us.
