Halliburton is inviting local companies to submit an expression of interest (EOI) for the supply of goods and services across the oil and gas industry, and African service providers are not missing the opportunity
The EOI has several categories supporting oil and gas operations, such as machine repair and operation tools; oil, lubricants and tyers; lifting materials and accessories; welding and fabrication; calibration, certification and fuel, to mention a few.
Following submissions, a competitive bidding process will lead to the selection of preferred and alternative suppliers.
Besides advancing local interests and capabilities, the initiative strengthens supplier diversity as well, contributing to economic growth and market expansion.

“While various countries have already implemented local content policies that support local participation in oil and gas developments, many nascent producers have yet to establish the relevant local content regulation. Yet, companies such as Halliburton are proving that international service providers, project developers and investors can do a lot without a local content law. Halliburton is not only giving opportunities to local companies but is laying the foundation for a vibrant oil and gas landscape in Africa,” said NJ Ayuk, executive chairman of the African Energy Chamber.
