Brazil

15. Where Do We Stand (Contd…)
Norway
The government worked deliberately to Norwegianize the oil sector
US and French domination in the first decade
Labour relations were built on strong trade union influence
Worked in favour of domestic firms relative to foreign firms
But did not jeopardize economic efficiency
Ownership no issue
Environmental friendly – take care of the resources
The Ministry monitored the tendering process and bid evaluations
Norwegian based firm got early access to all tendering information

16. Where Do We Stand (Contd…)
What Needs to be Done
Formal policy, backed by Govt., with realistic targets & schedule
Regulatory body like OSO/OSS/ANP for monitoring & compliance
Competent & qualified local vendors to facilitate JV’s /cooperation
Plan to educate & train personnel, support business development
Promotion of technology development of local industry
Strategy to identify the most likely areas for domestic capability
Adopt structured systems for Quality and Safety
