Promising to not only train locals to take over and “revolutionize” monitoring of the extraction of their country’s oil and gas, local tech company, e-Magic, on Friday entered into a partnership with Ghanaian-based West Coast Gas for over US$10 million in the short term.
“We are bringing technology that is used globally to Guyana. We are going to be training locals to apply this technology and support its implementation. That is for the upskilling. In addition to that, we are providing the ability to monitor oil and gas operations and identify gaps, so as to provide benefits to the country,” Chief Executive Officer of e-Magic Guyana, Compton Harris, told the Sunday Stabroek following the signing.
“My intention, is to have the people who are skilled – computer engineers, data engineers… experts, to be able to use them in my organisation for projects outside of Guyana,” he added.
