Nigeria’s marginal fields licensing rounds have been the cornerstone of Nigeria’s upstream local content development strategy since the early 2000s and previous rounds gave birth to what are now strong local and regional African E&P companies.
The move has been so successful that it is now being followed by other key African oil producing countries such as Angola and Gabon.
