Every producer country has its own local content rules.
Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, the UAE, Ghana, Angola — 14 producer countries, 14 different frameworks. We translate them into what SMEs actually need to bid, qualify, and get paid.
— Why Local Content Matters
Local content is not a checkbox. It's how the contract gets awarded.
In most producing countries the local content score, not just price, decides who wins. SMEs that understand the rules early stop wasting bids on scopes they were never going to win.

National Revenue
Governments retain more petroleum value in-country.

Local Value
Workforce, suppliers, technology and infrastructure grow together.
Pillar
Compliance
Score-weighted bids mean local content beats low price on paper.

Pillar
Global Partnerships

Start with the country that matters to your business.
United States
Americas
Buy American Act & Jones Act · 1933 / 1920
The US has no single oil & gas local content law. Instead, sector-adjacent statutes (Buy American on federally funded projects, the Jones Act on coastwise shipping, state severance and content preferences) apply.
Mexico
Americas
Hydrocarbons Law (Ley de Hidrocarburos) · 2014
Post-reform Mexican hydrocarbons contracts include a minimum national content requirement that ramps over the contract life, tracked by CNH and audited by the Ministry of Economy.
Brazil
Americas
ANP Local Content Policy · 1999, revised 2017/2023
Brazil's local content commitments are set per bid round and audited by ANP. Current rounds emphasize competitive local supply; older concession blocks still carry firm percentage commitments.
Canada
Americas
Canada-Newfoundland & Labrador Benefits Plans · Atlantic Accord (1985)
Atlantic Canada requires each offshore project to file a Benefits Plan committing to first-consideration procurement, employment, and R&D in the region.
United Kingdom
Europe
North Sea Transition Deal & Supply Chain Principles · 2021
The UK uses voluntary supply chain commitments rather than a hard local-content quota. Operators publish share-of-work targets and are held to them through NSTA stewardship.
Norway
Europe
Petroleum Act & Competitive Tender Regime · 1996 (amended)
Norway does not impose numerical local-content quotas. Instead, transparent competitive tenders combined with a highly developed domestic supply cluster produce strong national participation.
