Companies from the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador are prospecting for oil and gas partnerships here and other opportunities.

The trade mission was organised by Energy NL, with support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Industry, Energy and Technology (IET)

Speaking at a welcome reception on Monday at his residence in Bel Air Gardens, High Commissioner Mark Berman noted that the Canadian private sector has vast experience, a sound track record, and world class technologies to offer Guyana in oil and gas, infrastructure development, renewable energy, and technology.
