Upstream service provider, Halliburton Ghana Operations Limited, has committed an estimated US$15 million in advanced petroleum engineering software, training, and academic support under a new partnership with Ghana's Petroleum Commission and KNUST, aimed at strengthening local capacity and developing the country's next generation of upstream professionals."The Commission is pleased to collaborate with Halliburton on local content initiatives aimed at strengthening capacity development and maximising value creation in Ghana's upstream petroleum sector, particularly in human resource development," she said.

The Petroleum Commission has increasingly positioned capacity building as a central pillar of Ghana's local content agenda, encouraging international oil and gas companies to invest not only in infrastructure but also in the development of Ghanaian expertise.
