16 Oil Exporting
Countries
Africa’s Oil & gas Industry is on the spotlight
4. Despite the image of enormous wealth and opportunities,
oil rich countries grew less rapidly than oil poor countries
Though helped to raise standards of living, the bounty of
the proceeds from hydrocarbons goes to a minority of the
country’s population
Growth failure associated with democratic collapse,
corruption and civil war have led to rich countries with
poor people
Oil is not a guarantee for economic success
5. Natural resource wealth occur independent of factors of
production & economic processes
Take place without major linkages to other industrial sectors
Do not need participation of domestic labor force
Non-renewable and will eventually run out
These factors produce an array of political and economic
processes that produce adverse effects on the economy.
These adverse effects include……………
What makes natural resource wealth different
6. Economic and Political Instability
People are out of work 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
7. Volatility of earnings, timing of payments, expenditure
Mexico, Nigeria, Venezuela have used future oil revenues as collateral for
construction of infrastructure, drowning them into debt
Living off your capital
If revenues are consumed, a country’s total capital declines
Spending pressures
Politicians to hold onto power, population want to see visible welfare benefit
Insufficient investment in education
Counties forget to build skilled workforce to work in other sectors
Weak unaccountable states
Availability of large financial asset increases opportunity for thefts
Grievance in producing region
Locals aggravated if they see wealth leaving their region
Cambodia, Angola, Doba in Chard and Niger Delta in Nigeria
Oil Bunkering
Other causes of the resource Curse
8. Local Content is defined as added value brought to a host
nation through:
Workforce development:
Employment and training local workforce
Supplier development:
Procuring supplies and services locally and Developing local
supplier capacity
Can Local Content Strategies Avert the Curse?
9. Purpose:
Increase national wealth thru Economic growth
and more employment of locals
“Value creation in the country”
Norway, UK, Brazil &Nigerian policy
Other countries look at Ownership
Expenditure in the local economy
Employment of local workforce
Local content is a means – not a goal
Why Develop Local Content Strategies?

International oil companies to be supportive
Policies and contracts that allow service companies
to invest in the country
High focus on developing human capacity
What will it take to reach a satisfactory level?
14. 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

Identify Industries with high local content potential
16. What it takes to maximize local participation
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

17. 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.

Challenges to develop Local Content
20. LC Strategies have succeeded in many countries
Brazil – Petrobras:
Active involvement in the industry from its formation
Acquired deep water drilling technology 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. High expectations can lead to 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
23. Provide accurate information and knowledge to the public so
that they can understand the challenges of the industry
Communicate and address the consequences of overly
optimism.
Government to promote its own transparency and adopt the
Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI)
Pay attention to lessons learned from other resource-rich
countries, both successes and failures, could play an
important role in managing expectations.
Ways to manage Expectations
24. NC strategy to address O&G negative 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

NC Strategy to maximize revenue received
26. Conclusion
Successful local content strategies can Maximize
Benefit when:
Focus is put on diversification rather than resource
windfall
Ensure the revenue generated, is reinvested wisely
and holistically
Stimulate other sectors in the Economy
Create more jobs to reduce unemployment
