Deepsea Stavanger welcomed to South Africa before going on duty at Mossell Bay's Luiperd prospect

摘要

THE DEEPSEA STAVANGER oil and gas drill rig was temporarily anchored in Cape Town, before transportation to the Luiperd prospect off the coast of Mossel Bay. The oil and gas exploration drilling campaign, which is expected to be between 180-300 days long, will see R1.5 billion invested, including a number of initiatives to create opportunities for employment and skills development in the local economy. Forty-three on-shore positions have been filled by South Africans from Mossel Bay, including seven women who have been specifically appointed as part of a continued skills transfer programme.
