IN line with its mission to monitor and support local content within Guyana’s petroleum sector, the Director of the Local Content Secretariat (LCS), Dr. Martin Pertab, along with his team, recently conducted a site visit to Westar Industrial and Oil Field Supplies Inc.
Westar Industrial and Oil Field Supplies Inc. is a 100 per cent Guyanese-owned company that specialises in providing support services to the oil and gas industry.

The company is currently in the process of developing a significant shore-based facility located on the west bank of the Demerara River. The facility is strategically positioned to serve the growing needs of Guyana’s booming oil and gas sector.
Construction of the facility is advancing rapidly, and once completed, it is expected to create hundreds of new jobs, providing a substantial boost to local employment and economic growth.

The visit by the Local Content Secretariat is part of its broader effort to ensure that Guyanese businesses and workers are well-integrated and benefit from the expanding petroleum industry.
