Japan Oil, Gas & Metals National Corporation (Jogmec) has started the search for a consultant to complement its evaluation of upstream opportunities, including potential farm-ins, in Kenya for Japanese oil and gas companies.

Jogmec has launched a tender for a consultant to prepare a memorandum that will include these topics such as legislation regulating Kenya’s oil and gas industry, including its model production sharing contract, plus the relevant tax regime, licences and permits required to operate, along with environmental health and safety compliance.
