Incident investigation specialist Matrix Risk Control has secured a contract to deliver training in Mozambique for Anadarko Petroleum Corporation workers.
Representatives from the Aberdeen-based company will develop and deliver incident investigation training for up to 90 staff members of Anadarko over the remaining quarter of 2017.
Mhorvan Sherret , commercial director of Matrix, said: “We are looking forward to working closely with Anadarko’s teams over the next three months to strengthen the company’s incident investigation capabilities.”
Anadarko is the operator behind Mozambique LNG, a project to advance the country’s first large-scale onshore LNG Park on the Afungi peninsula in Cabo Delgado province of northern Mozambique.
Mark McKenna , Anadarko HSE director for Global LNG said: “Exciting times lie ahead for Anadarko in Mozambique, however the safety and wellbeing of our personnel remains a priority at both a local and a global level.
“By working in partnership with Matrix, we hope to create a positive culture and process surrounding all aspects of incident reporting, recording, and investigation.”
Anadarko made its first discovery in the Offshore Area 1 of the deepwater Rovuma Basin offshore Mozambique back in 2010 . The company is developing Mozambique’s first onshore LNG plant consisting of two initial LNG trains with a total capacity of 12 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to support the Golfinho/Atum field located entirely within Offshore Area 1.
In July this year , Anadarko finalized two agreements with the Government of Mozambique which will allow the company to design, build and operate the marine facilities for its LNG project in the country.
