The contractual strategy deployed by Total aimed to
maximize the benefi ts for the Angolan economy. The
momentum created in the country’s oil services
industry – as seen by the construction of extensive
infrastructure – translated to nearly three million
hours of work for Angola’s onshore fabrication yards
and logistical hubs.
sUCCEssfUL MaNagEMENT of a LargE-sCaLE ProJECT
Designing and fabricating the plant and equipment needed to develop
the Rosa reservoirs called on leading-edge know-how from contractors
in several different countries. Thousands of men and women
in Norway, the United Kingdom, India, France, Angola, the United
States and Belgium committed their expertise to this project, completed
within the allotted deadlines. Enforcing a systematic policy of
local content among its contractors, Total has contributed to building
the momentum of the local industry through its priority on giving as
much work as possible to the Angolan oil services sector. By pooling
all these energies, Total and its partners have helped the country take
a new step toward extracting maximum value from its resources.
