    Oil & Gas

    Tax, local content and commercial advice for oil and gas operators, and for the companies building Namibia's upstream supply chain.

    The Orange Basin discoveries have made Namibia one of the most watched offshore frontiers in the world. Operators face a ring fenced petroleum tax regime, a new local content policy and licence transactions that Namibian tax law now reaches. Service companies entering the supply chain face a different problem: setting up correctly, meeting local content expectations and staying compliant while contracts ramp up. Andersen in Namibia works on the tax, financial, commercial and structuring side of both.
