Some of these are: the Conference of the Parties (COP) 28 was held on December 2023; the much-anticipated Integrated Energy and Power Master Plan (IEPMP) was approved; given the national election, different political parties have put their sectoral pledges; the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR) has been initiating proposals on domestic gas exploration and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import; and Bangladesh obtained foreign financial assistance or investment for renewable energy projects.Authors: Khondaker Golam Moazzem, Helen Mashiyat Preoty, Jebunnesa (Jeba), Faisal Quaiyyum and Mashfiq Ahasan HridoyDownload: https://lnkd.in/gN4ttBRN

    Local content in oil & gas: A catalyst for shared growthBy Ndapwilapo Selma ShimutwikeniIn light of the recent oil and gas discoveries in Namibia, local content was a central focus at the recently concluded 6th edition of the Namibia International Energy Conference, which was attended by over 750 delegates from 46 nations. In the oil and gas industry, local content refers to the development of local industries, workforce, and resources to support the operations of international oil companies within a country. For Namibia, fostering ‘Namibian Content’ can significantly enhance economic growth, social development, and technological advancement. As highlighted by The World Bank, “Implementing effective local content policies can drive economic growth and development in resource-rich countries. By building local capacity and fostering the development of local industries, these policies can create jobs, enhance skills, and ensure that a greater share of the benefits from natural resource extraction remains within the country.” This article delves into the benefits of local content – in our case, ‘Namibian Content’ as well as highlighting success stories from other countries.https://lnkd.in/dpcGqexK

    Repetitive short excursions into the strategic bird's-eye perspective despite strong operational constrains are definitely a worthwhile investment

    In a similar case, Gabon recently made use of the (fortunately) agreed option right and noticeably increased the state's share in an important oil field. It remains to be hoped that such concrete steps/actions (instead of the many previous slogans and speeches) will send appropriate signals across the continent to strive for fairer participation as the future standard in the exploitation of natural resourceshttps://lnkd.in/e76kqM_T

    If we assume $50mn per shipment of LNG, that's ~ $2.5bn USD per annum of LNG sales but, but our Gov't has no idea why the current PNG LNG export revenues are not going through PNG foreign exchange market which has four (4) ASX listed banks, including two of Australia's largest banks operating in PNG is because they boasted then for proceeds that was not actually going to retain onshore and sustain economic growth. Why would TOTAL only bring in $250mn after first gas export? What about the ~ $10bn project costs? Isn't it worth holding entire $10bn project's funds inshore and leave only portion of funds needed for procuring goods & services abroad in an offshore bank account? Or even better any idea why they're not parking entire project funds in PNG under custody of BPNG or the four commercial banks and using that to pay all construction related contractors within PNG and overseas? That could significantly boost foreign currency liquidity & availability in the drought ridden PNG foreign exchange market and have ripple effects on economy! These are the questions we thought they would address properly in this Papua LNG deal after learning from PNG LNGP project, but it seems they have not learnt anything and keep on boasting about continuous constructions of resource projects so that some sort of magic can happen at the background for ultimate national's benefits.I see nothing but PNG and its people as major losers as resource owner in terms of contract services to labor mobility from construction phase to production of LNG and will be losers at all major benefit fronts. What our government termed as sustaining benefits for PNG over 4-8 years of continuous constructions is a mere fantasy and hold no water in factual term. What vehicle does it have to patch equal benefits out of contract services & labor mobility? Have we seriously considered the so called " National Content Policy" and how it can address issues with past projects like PNG LNG? Have we seriously thought about how billions of dollars that such project can generate for our local companies and make life equally better for locals as compared to expats?Would it not be possible for inclusion of a simple clause in the Agreement "to have all major contract service providers to project operators (Total, ExxonMobil, etc.) to partner with local companies when bidding for projects in country? Or would it not be possible to agree for creation of onshore bank account to park entire project fundings and proceeds? Why local labor force is not equally being recognized and rewarded and benefiting equally as expatriates? Is it not possible should the local labor force be paid equally as expats in the same currency in USD, EURO and AUD? Should the local labor force be trained and groomed for developing into a senior leadership position by replacing expats within 2-4 years' time frame? I think these questions need to be answered if PNG to benefit equally or fairly as resource owners.

    🌍 Breaking Down AU and AfCFTA's Local Content Challenges for Enhanced Energy Security in Africa 🌍At the recent 8th Sub-Saharan Africa International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC), Riverson Oppong, PhD., the new chief executive of the Association of Oil Marketing Companies and LPG Marketing Companies, provided profound insights into the effectiveness of local content policies across Africa’s energy sector.🔍 Key Highlights:1. Local vs. National Content: Oppong critiqued the isolationist approach of current local content strategies, illustrating how they often hinder regional integration and economic efficiency.2. Resource Utilization: He praised Ghana's model where all produced gas fuels domestic electricity and industrial growth, contrasting it with the common practice of exporting raw resources only to import costly refined products.3. Implementation Gaps: The alignment issues between the AU and AfCFTA's ambitious goals and their practical execution underscore the need for a reevaluation of strategies to ensure mutual benefits across the continent.4. Economic and Sustainable Development: The current economic setup, where countries export crude at lower prices and import refined products at higher costs, was highlighted as a major hurdle to sustainable development.5. Unified Strategy for Energy Security: Oppong advocated for a unified approach, emphasizing infrastructure expansions like the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline to secure energy across Africa.💡 Conclusion:These insights prompt a crucial reassessment of the AU and AfCFTA's roles in leveraging local content for energy security. A shift towards a collaborative, continent-wide strategy could significantly boost Africa’s economic resilience and sustainable energy solutions.👥Join the discussion: What strategies do you think can effectively align local content policies with actual energy security needs in Africa?🚀🌍👌🏽#EnergySecurity #LocalContent #AfricanUnion #AfCFTA #SustainableDevelopment #EconomicIntegration #AfricaEnergy#GlobalEnergy #EnergyPolicy #EconomicGrowth #InvestInAfrica #EnergyTransition #SustainableEnergy #RenewableEnergy #investinmozambique #contactme #collaborations #partnerships #localpartnerships #InfrastructureDevelopment #BusinessLeadership #InternationalBusiness #TradeDevelopment #PolicyChange #IndustryLeaders #GlobalEconomics #EnergyMarket #follow #connect #likeandshare

    In a landmark move aimed at bolstering Nigeria’s position as a premier destination for oil and gas investments in Africa, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has recently signed three executive orders. Drafted in close collaboration with key ministries and agencies including the Federal Ministry of Justice, Finance, Petroleum, Budget and Economic Planning, as well as regulatory bodies such as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited,and Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, these policy reforms are set to redefine the trajectory of Nigeria's energy sector. Its main focus include:1.Fiscal Incentives for Growth: This should be tailored to stimulate non-associated gas, midstream, and deepwater developments. These incentives are poised to catalyze investment flows, fostering a conducive environment for sustainable growth and innovation within the sector.2.Contracting Process Optimization: This should recognize the critical need for expediency in project execution.It entails streamlining the contracting process to compress the cycle to a mere six months. This streamlined approach aims to enhance efficiency, reducing bureaucratic bottlenecks and accelerating the pace of project implementation.3.Local Content Integration: Emphasizing the importance of local participation, this should underscore the application of local content requirements without impeding investments or compromising cost competitiveness. While these executive orders mark a significant milestone in Nigeria's energy journey, it's crucial to recognize that directives alone are not sufficient. True progress lies in the effective IMPLEMENTATION of these policies on the ground. As stakeholders across the public and private sectors come together to translate these directives into tangible actions, it is imperative to maintain momentum, foster collaboration, and uphold accountability. Only through proactive and diligent implementation can we unlock the full potential of Nigeria's energy sector, paving the way for sustainable growth and resilience in the face of global challenges.Please ponder on this while we await details of these executive orders to be officially communicated and gazetted by the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation.#energy #energylaw #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #energylawandclimatechangewithsoniaebiki
