About the Course

Local Content Management in Oil and Gas is a comprehensive 5-day course designed to equip industry professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to navigate, implement, and optimize local content strategies in the oil and gas sector. As local content requirements increasingly shape how international and national oil companies operate, understanding the legal, regulatory, and commercial dimensions of local content has become essential for project success and regulatory compliance.
This course explores the strategic, operational, and contractual aspects of local content, including procurement strategies, workforce localization, supplier development, and knowledge transfer. Participants will learn how to design and implement Local Content Management Plans (LCMP), integrate local content into contractual frameworks, and align with host country regulations while driving commercial value.
Through case studies, group discussions, and practical exercises, attendees will gain hands-on experience in managing local content provisions, drafting contractual clauses, and measuring local content performance using tools such as the Balanced Scorecard. This course empowers professionals to effectively balance stakeholder expectations, meet regulatory targets, and contribute to the sustainable development of host communities.
