Bráulio De Brito, Chairman, Angolan Oil & Gas Service Companies Association (AECIPA) spoke with Energy Capital & Power on the readiness of its members to meet the growing demand for energy services as Angola witnesses an influx in fresh oil and gas investments.
In an exclusive interview during Angola Oil & Gas 2024, Brito emphasized that the key to preparing Angolan service companies for the influx of projects is the adoption of modern technologies.
“Nothing happens without a well-skilled workforce,” he said.
He added that AECIPA is working closely with international partners to bring in new technologies, financing and expertise to enhance the local workforce’s capabilities.
“We have 180 associations as AECIPA members and drivers of the growth in Angola’s oil and gas industry,” stated Brito, “We continue to facilitate interaction between service providers, the government and project developers on best practices to improve the business environment.”
