The Association of Angolan Petroleum Service Companies (AECIPA), representing 150 members within the Angolan oil industry, advocates for a heightened emphasis on the implementation of local content initiatives.
Highlighting the strategic importance of industry efficiency, the association underscores the pivotal role of local content in supporting Angola’s goal of increasing oil production to 1.18 million barrels per day.
During a recent address in Luanda, AECIPA CEO Bráulio de Brito emphasized that embracing local content fosters greater involvement of domestic service providers, thereby enhancing service quality through localized investments, expertise, and products.
De Brito stressed the necessity for companies to prioritize workforce development to equip employees with the skills required to meet the challenges and standards of the global market.
