Primary instrument
ANP Local Content Policy
Enacted / active: 1999, revised 2017/2023
Governed by Agência Nacional do Petróleo (ANP)
What the rule actually says
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.
— Key requirements
- Percentage of investment executed by Brazilian suppliers (varies by round)
- ANP audit certificates for each qualifying item
- Preference documented in operator procurement plans
What this means for SMEs
Brazil in plain English
Brazilian-registered SMEs count toward operator commitments. FINEP and BNDES lines back local supplier development. Pre-salt operators actively source locally.
