The Promise of a Better Tomorrow
NOCAL is about equal opportunity and equal access.

In this vein, anyone can become a vendor as long as he or she meets the procurement governance requirements:

• PPCC
• Social Security Security
• Professional References
• Any other documents as may be indicated in the biding document
• In 2014 the New Petroleum Exploration and Production Law was
passed and signed into law in 2016.
• By 2016, due to down-turn in oil price, all players in the
Liberia basin relinquished licensed areas.
• In December 2018, the Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority was
activated as a result of the New Petroleum E & P Law of 2014,
taking on all regulatory functions.
• In 2019, some provisions of the New Petroleum E & P Law were
amended to increase block size and to include Direct Negotiations
and Executive Allocation to NOCAL as ways to grant petroleum
rights to companies coming into the basins..
