Abstract
The need for a structured dialogue on local content in Kenya has been incentivized by the discovery of oil and other commercially viable minerals. The study sought the determinants of local content development on successful implementation of oil and gas exploration and production within Africa Oil Corp. The specific objectives were to establish the required local infrastructure for successful implementation of oil and gas exploration, development and production, to determine the required local capabilities for the successful implementation of oil and gas exploration, development and production and to determine how local environment affects the successful implementation of oil and gas exploration, development and production in Africa Oil Kenya Business Venture. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population included directors of the Africa Oil Corp. Top and Middle management levels, subordinate and selected employees of the company. The study had a total population of 324.The study employed the simple stratified random sampling technique. The sample size of the study consisted of 176 respondents selected from the study population for the quantitative data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze and test the research hypotheses. A linear multivariate regression model was used to measure the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. There was a positive and significant effect of local infrastructure, local capabilities and local capabilities on successful implementation of oil and gas exploration, development and production. The company in partnership with the government should ensure the availability of the required infrastructure to promote the local oil and gas exploration, development and production. The Company should therefore carefully examine what types of careers they offer their workers to facilitate the necessary expertise required in the oil exploration and production. The government should provide conducive environment for the exploration, development and production of local oil and gas exploration.

由于发现了石油和其他具有商业价值的矿产,肯尼亚需要就本地含量问题进行结构性对话。这项研究旨在探寻非洲石油公司成功实施石油和天然气勘探与生产的本地含量发展的决定因素。具体目标是确定成功实施石油和天然气勘探、开发和生产所需的当地基础设施,确定成功实施石油和天然气勘探、开发和生产所需的当地能力,以及确定当地环境如何影响非洲石油肯尼亚合资企业成功实施石油和天然气勘探、开发和生产。本研究采用描述性研究设计。研究对象包括非洲石油公司的董事、高层和中层管理人员、下属员工和员工代表。公司的高层和中层管理人员、下属和部分员工。研究采用了简单分层随机抽样技术。研究的样本量包括从研究人口中选取的 176 名受访者,以获得定量数据。研究采用了描述性和推论性统计方法来分析和检验研究假设。采用线性多元回归模型来衡量自变量与因变量之间的关系。当地基础设施、当地能力和当地实力对成功实施石油和天然气勘探、开发和生产具有积极而重要的影响。公司应与政府合作,确保提供所需的基础设施,以促进当地的石油和天然气勘探、开发和生产。因此,公司应仔细研究为员工提供哪些类型的职业,以促进石油勘探和生产所需的专业知识。政府应为当地油气勘探、开发和生产提供有利的环境。关键词;当地基础设施、当地能力、当地环境、成功实施石油和天然气勘探、开发和生产 参考文献:Morintat, L.
