Ahead the inauguration of Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) Board of Trustees for Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) in host communities, the NEPL, a subsidiary of NNPC Limited has trained the trustees on basic oil and gas exploration for non professionals.
The Board of Trustees were drawn from four OMLs 11, 20, 26 and 28/30 units in some communities in Delta, Abia and Rivers states respectively.
The training which held in Benin City, the Edo state capital, is a precursor to inaugurating the board of trustees for host communities to prepare them for the task ahead, the organizers said.
Participants were taken through Basic oil & Gas and Business Planning for non-professionals, project management fundamentals and corporate governance not for profit entities.
Mr. Victor Briggs, Managing Partner, DAP Energy Consult explained that the training is geared to give the board members basic understanding of how the technical part of the oil industry works.
