About this book
Reviews
“This important book shows clearly that the ability to achieve – and deliver – results is conditioned by a range of domestic and international parameters that can be conducive or not conducive to a gradual evolution of local content. The authors use a range of excellent country case studies to illustrate the role local content can have in governments’ oil and gas policies. The book shows the variation of policies used by governments and the steps that need to be addressed by political leaders as well as industry participants. The book provides valuable insights for political leaders, governments, regulators, oil companies and the many, large and small companies in the oil and gas supply chain.” (Willy H Olsen, Senior Advisor, INTSOK, and former Senior Advisor to the President and CEO of Statoil)
“This book is a path-breaking examination of resource-rich countries' policies aimed at retaining a greater share of resource revenues or at diversifying their economy. The detailed case studies of Norway and the UK, Kazakhstan and Russia, and Brazil reveal the wide range of sectoral and economy-wide local content policies, and the authors provide a thorough assessment of such policies' costs and benefits.” (Richard Pomfret, Professor of Economics at the University of Adelaide, Australia)
