He reaffirmed that is country is committed to driving investment in the oil and gas industry and focusing on partnerships and collaboration. He assured that as Angola accelerates its energy transition, localization and human capital development will continue to play a critical role in Angola’s oil and gas industry.
The minister highlighted the government’s plan to accelerate growth in the Angolan energy industry through improved legislation that focuses on supporting and enhancing local businesses development. “Our most important strategy in the energy industry continues to be human capital and the increased participation of local companies to supply products and services made in Angola to support the oil and gas sector. As we shift focus to energy transition efforts, we must implement investment initiatives that foster skills development that will drive the hydrocarbons industry into a cleaner and brighter future for Angola,” He said.
In 2020, the Angolan government approved new legislation focused on maximizing the benefits of the oil and gas industry value chain to promote local content – a task supervised by the Agência Nacional de Petróleos, Biocombustíveis e Gás (ANPG).
