Netherlands-based oil and gas company Fugro in partnership with Lima Oil Services has established a new firm Fugro Ghana in a bid to continue its expansion plans in Africa
According to Fugro, the new firm will provide access to Fugro’s comprehensive range of services and will support the Ghanian market for oil and gas exploration, construction and oilfield developments.
Fugro Ghana director Kelvin Abdallah said, “I am proud to be part of the process of integrating Fugro’s experience and knowledge into the Ghanaian community. Our plans include extensive training programmes, which will benefit from close coordination with Fugro Academy, the initiative that facilitates staff training and development across Fugro. I am confident that with such support, Ghanaian resources can meet the requirements of the international oil and gas industry.”
In 2014, Fugro had acquired Geofor Group and Earth Resources combined with the establishment and opening of new offices in Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda. Further acquisitions included Australia’s Roames and Netherlands-based RailData.
