ANEXO I - ANNEX I - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE SPREADSHEET OF LOCAL CONTENT

The objective of this annex is to highlight and clarify the parameters that should

be observed when filling the table of Local Content, available in the Offer Generating

System (GEOF) of the Eleventh Bidding Round.

The figure below represents the spreadsheet for a Shallow Water sector, but

the procedures are also similar to Deep Water and Onshore sectors. Any differences

are explained.

Steps for the filling of the spreadsheet:

1) Fill in the column ITEM WEIGHT, referring to the weight of the item in the cost

of the investment required for each step (exploration and development), with

percentage figures. The figures should be expressed as a percentage and

should add to 100% at the exploration stage and 100% in the stage of

I

II

III


development.

Thus, as indicated in the image above:

• The sum of the amounts typed in the cells included in area I must be equal to

100; and

• The sum of the amounts typed in the cells included in area II must also be

equal to 100.

2) Fill the column OFFERED CL (area III), offering a percentage amount for each

of the items of the spreadsheet. The offered amount may not be lower than the

minimum percentage of the item shown in the last column, CL MINIMUM.

In completing the spreadsheet of local content, it should be noted that the five

fields highlighted below have sub-items.

System Subsystem Item

Exploration Drilling, Assessment and Completion

Drilling + Completion

Auxiliary Systems

Development

Drilling, Assessment and Completion

Drilling + Completion

Auxiliary Systems

UEP (AR and AP) Process Plant (T)

Plants - Materials Materials

When you reach one of these fields, you will get a pop-up window containing

the sub items that will form the final offer for the item. This new window should be

completed and the system will automatically calculate the final CL for the item.


As indicated in the image above:

• Area I refers to the weight of the item in the cost of investment;

• Area II refers to the weight of each sub item, and the sum of the amounts

typed in the cells included in this area must be equal to 100;

• Area III refers to the percentage of local content offered for each sub item.

The offered percentage may not be lower than the minimum required

percentage shown in the last column, CL MINIMUM.

Once all fields of the spreadsheet are completed, the percentage amounts to be

offered at the exploration and development stage will be automatically calculated.

These amounts should be within the range of minimum and maximum amounts set out

in Table 11 of the Tender Protocol and they will be the amounts used for the

calculation of the final rate on the day of submission of offers, together with the

amounts of PEM and Signature Bonus.
