Suppliers eager to play a role in Guyana’s oil and gas sector through SBM Offshore Guyana listened earnestly as the company outlined potential opportunities at its Let’s Talk Local Content Forum.
The event capped a week of oil and gas discussions at the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo. Martin Cheong, General Manager of SBM Offshore Guyana, outlined the company’s continued efforts to engage local suppliers.

The Forum entailed three key sessions designed to guide businesses through SBM Offshore’s procurement process. The first session, Understanding Procurement, aimed to provide essential insights into SBM Offshore’s procurement framework.
The second session, Supplier Connect, focused exclusively on current suppliers. This session served as a platform for ongoing collaboration and communication with those already part of SBM Offshore’s supplier network.

The final session, an FPSO Immersive Experience, offered participants a hands-on opportunity to explore the various parts and functions of an FPSO (floating production storage and offloading unit). This interactive experience provided invaluable first-hand insight into the company’s operations.
SBM Offshore is the builder and operator of the Liza Destiny, Liza Unity, and Prosperity FPSOs currently producing oil offshore Guyana. The company is also constructing the ONE GUYANA and Jaguar FPSOs for additional projects sanctioned by ExxonMobil for its Stabroek Block operations.
But its role in Guyana goes beyond oil production, as its community engagement projects aim to create long-lasting impacts on local economies.
