Approach
Advisian conducted a detailed desktop study to define all activities within the EPC Contract and within the Drilling and Completion Services Contracts.

This was further validated through stakeholder mapping and engagement. In addition the following were identified:
- The training, knowledge transfer and certifications that will be required to maximize national/local participation in the EPC Contract process as suppliers, contractors, workforce and joint-ventures.
- Areas of technology transfer to maximize participation of national enterprises, skilled and unskilled workforce in the EPC Contract value chain activities for future managing and operations in the oil and gas industry.
- Opportunities for sub-contracting and joint-ventures for national enterprises.
Recommendations were also provided for a way forward. Finally a National Content Policy and monitoring tool were developed and training provided to client and government representatives on its use.
Results
The outcomes of the study are being used to inform client contracting strategies and operational planning as well as guide stakeholder engagement to ensure that National Content commitments are realistic and sustainable.
