By Ndubuisi Micheal Obineme

The book reviews Mozambique’s oil and gas business opportunities, and demand for goods and services featuring exclusive insights on the current state of the country’s hydrocarbon resources coupled with recommendations to developing the natural resources for sustainable development.

Victor Tivane, a geologist and ENH local content director, has announced the launch of a new book titled ‘Local Content in the Oil and Gas Sector & Sustainable Development of Mozambique – a Collection of the country’s Hydrocarbon Resources, opportunities, and Local Content Development across the oil and gas value chain in the country.

Tivane’s book captures the current state of the Mozambique oil and gas industry while offering leadership advice for the government in creating the right policies for developing local companies, increasing local skills, and accelerating technology transfer for economic and sustainable development in Mozambique.

“A new opportunity is opening in Mozambique, which is the discovery of large reserves of natural gas that needs to be properly managed. It is important to mention that the challenge for developing countries, such as Mozambique, is to create strategies to make the most of the exploitation of this important resource to benefit the growth of other sectors of the economy,” Tivane stated.

Speaking in an interview with The Energy Republic about the content in the book, he revealed that the content published in the book is of maximum interest to the Mozambique authorities, industry players, and academia.

The Book, according to him, comprises 275 pages, with eight chapters covering:

I. Main National Objectives of Mozambique;
II. Hydrocarbon Geology, Exploration, Development and Production;
III. Principles of Hydrocarbon Management;
IV. The Hydrocarbons Sector in Mozambique;
V. Country’s Commitment to Local Content;
VI. Structure and Specificity of Local Content;
VII. Global Initiatives and Local Content Lessons; and
VIII. Local Content and the Roadmap for its Development.

“This book, I believe would provide the required tool that can expose the Mozambique oil and gas industry in such a way that in the next 30-50 years, the country could make a big difference if its oil and gas resources are managed with excellence. The content in the book also provides more insight into the risks that may arise, leading to political tensions, including economic and social instability if the resources aren’t managed efficiently.

“My book also features my contributions on the strategies and business model options that can be followed so that the extractive industry sector can contribute positively to leveraging other sectors of the economy while focusing on Local Content.

“The digital copy of the book has been published on Amazon, while the hard copies will be published in November 2024,” he added.
