SBM Offshore operates several floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels in Guyana’s Stabroek Block, where production continues to expand through projects led by ExxonMobil.
SBM said the program targets four key disciplines: Production (Operation), Mechanical, Instrumentation, and Electrical, with an additional focus on cargo operations linked to FPSO vessels operating offshore.
The initiative combines classroom instruction, practical exercises, and structured evaluations designed to prepare participants for offshore work environments.
The company said the program emphasizes safety, technical competence, teamwork and operational readiness as part of its effort to build local capacity for Guyana’s offshore industry.
