Seven graduate engineers hired by ExxonMobil contractor SBM Offshore have arrived in Singapore for hands-on training on the Prosperity Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel which will support the Payara development in the Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana.

A release yesterday from ExxonMobil subsidiary, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited said that the five men and two women arrived in Singapore on Monday. In August last year they travelled to the Netherlands where they spent six months undergoing training, the release said.

The graduate engineers returned to Guyana in February before the final stint of training.
