Also present at the signing were Eric Legendre, COO of Aqueos, and Darren Debideen, Oil and Gas Consultant for DCEL.

“We see this as a strategic initiative for our company since it is really important to align with the right group and that is AGT, and DCEL who will help to provide local talent,” President and CEO of Aqueos, Ted Roche commenting at the signing. “Guyana’s oil and gas sector is extremely important to the growth of the country and its people, and we’re committed to providing local content wherever we can.”

Roche said the company remains committed to training additional Guyanese to fill the projects under its portfolio.

Darren Debideen, DCEL’s Oil and Gas Consultant, said the company is excited to be entering the agreement with Aqueos.
