Government to engage with those with
know-how in the oil industry
Accra, Dec. 4, Ghanadot/GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor
on Tuesday underlined the Government's determination to work
with those with expertise in the oil sector to help the
country derive maximum befits from its oilfields.
"We want to engage with those with the know-how and
resources", he said, when he granted audience to the
President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Norwegian
Company, Aker Kvaener, Mr Martinus Brandal, at the Castle,
Osu.
The Company, which is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange,
currently operates in 30 countries, providing technology and
equipment for offshore oil operations.
Its attraction to Ghana follows the substantial oil
discovery in deep waters near Cape Three Points.
President Kufuor sought from the CEO, details about the
market share of the company in Europe and its ownership,
among other things.
Mr Brandal said they were in the country to learn more about
the oil discovery and how they could contribute and help to
stabilise the energy sector.
Norway, an oil-producing Scandinavian nation, is reputed for
its efficient management of its oil resources.
