CTLS and Century Group have reached a significant milestone in their partnership by successfully concluding the second edition of the FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) Skills Series Programme. Held on August 6 and 7, 2024, this initiative underscores the commitment of both organisations to enhance the capabilities of Guyana’s oil and gas workforce.

The FPSO Skills Series Programme is a key component of the joint effort to prepare local professionals for critical roles in the dynamic oil and gas sector. Participants in the programme were provided with comprehensive training, covering vital aspects of FPSO operations, including Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) protocols, as well as basic operational procedures.

As the programme transitions into its next phase, selected participants will embark on technical certification training aboard Century Group’s FPSOs in Nigeria. This hands-on experience is designed to further equip them with the practical skills necessary to excel in the global oil and gas industry.

Reflecting on the programme’s impact, participant Maurice Walcott expressed his gratitude, stating, “I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to CTLS and Century Group for such an informative two-day training. The knowledge I gained will greatly assist me in the oil and gas industry. This initiative is greatly appreciated by me and the other participants. The team you chose for the training was amazing, and I’ll be sure to let others know about the wonderful experience I had.”

Dr. Preye Angaye, Director of Strategy and New Business at Century Group, highlighted the programme’s broader mission: “Our goal is to empower Guyanese professionals with world-class training and hands-on experience. By bridging the skills gap in the oil and gas industry, we are creating a workforce capable of thriving on the global stage.”
With the successful completion of this second cohort, CTLS and Century Group continue to lead the charge in empowering Guyana’s workforce, ensuring a prosperous future for the nation’s growing oil and gas industry.
