Petroleum engineers to provide support to Cambodia
At a Sept 11 meeting between Deputy Prime Minister Sok An and Ganesh C. Thakur, President of the U.S.-based Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), plans were discussed about the SPE providing training and expertise for the Kingdom’s oil and gas sector, according to a statement from the Cambodian government. The SPE wants Cambodian National Petroleum Authority (CNPA) officials to become members of SPE so they can take training courses via teleconferences. The SPE will send lecturers to train its members, without any cost to be paid by the trainees…The SPE now has more than 100,000 members in 118 countries worldwide. Cambodia plans to start drilling for offshore oil and gas on Dec 12 next year.
