Differences between Tanzania and oil companies over local content obligations contained in Petroleum Act 2015 have resurfaced with the government collecting stakeholders’ views in efforts to enforce regulations.
The companies through their organisation, Oil and Gas Association of Tanzania (Ogat) last week told the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (Ewura) that they are uncomfortable with the local content requirement in Tanzania and want a review.
