MUSCAT: Committed to enhancing the capabilities of the national workforce in the oil and gas sector and in line with its dedication to contributing to the country’s ICV agenda, Daleel Petroleum, in cooperation with a number of local institutions operating in the sector, launched an ambitious programme to train and empower the country’s workforce in a critical and highly specialised area of operation.
Daleel Petroleum initiated this campaign in an endeavour to provide a sustainable solution to address the challenges faced in obtaining specialised international expertise when managing the electrical interconnection of petroleum wells. Acknowledging the need to be self-sufficient and reduce dependency on international companies, Daleel Petroleum, under its supplier development plan, launched a comprehensive training programme to empower the team at Marmul Falcon Company, thereby enabling the company to be the local service provider of this highly technical and complex operation.
Daleel Petroleum’s training programme was conducted keeping international standards and protocols in mind and placed increased emphasis on various technical aspects, ensuring that each employee had the necessary skills to effectively carry out assigned tasks. The programme will play an instrumental role in achieving increased operational independence in the oil and gas sector while lowering costs and enhancing the efficiency of workflows.
Appreciating the initiatives taken by Daleel Petroleum, Mabkhout Saad Mokaddam al Mahri, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Marmul Falcon Trading and Contracting Company, said, “Daleel Petroleum has demonstrated utmost keenness in nurturing the national workforce and their efforts toward training the team at Marmul Falcon are indeed commendable. They have not only followed exceptional levels of professionalism in adhering to the health, safety and environment guidelines but have remained unfaltering in their commitment to guiding the team in all administrative and technical aspects of operations."
Meanwhile, Mohammed Nasser al Hinai, Principal Project Engineer at Daleel Petroleum, said, "This idea was conceptualised and implemented in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic when it was difficult to find an international crew to carry out such operations. Direct electrical connections are vital to the operation of the electrical network as it facilitates quick connections and avoids the closing of electrical lines. Having this service available locally will greatly benefit the petroleum production operations.”
