In particular, a gap exists on available opportunities for SMEs to participate in the value chain, including potential business linkages and partnerships. In addition, there are constraints that deter their competitive advantage. It is important to identify these constraints and convert them into opportunities to realize both the local content and the national oil and gas policy objectives.en
