Ghana’s upstream petroleum regulator, the Petroleum Commission, and Kosmos Energy Ghana on Thursday signed an agreement to facilitate the secondment of some commission engineers to Kosmos Energy’s facility in Houston, Texas.
The initiative is part of the commission’s efforts to build a skilled and technically competent workforce capable of regulating and supporting Ghana’s upstream petroleum industry, the commission said in a post on Facebook.
The engineers will gain practical experience in international industry practices and specialised technical operations during the secondment, which the commission said would help strengthen its institutional capacity.
The chief executive of the Petroleum Commission Victoria Emeafa Hardcastle and Senior Vice President and Head of Ghana Business at Kosmos Energy Joe Mensah said at the signing that the partnership would help build technical capacity and advance Ghana’s petroleum industry.
The commission described the programme as an investment in Ghana’s technical capacity and the future of its upstream petroleum sector.
The commission also commended Kosmos Energy Ghana for supporting the initiative.
