3.9.3 Local content In a number of the countries in which SBM Offshore operates, host governments now set minimum levels for local content on oil and gas projects. The Company has always endeavoured to employ local people and to contract with local vendors. Now it is working with governments and other industry partners in several countries to ensure that local people and local communities benefit directly from its presence as a major employer and purchaser of goods and services. Angola The Company has been present in Angola since 1968. Over the last four decades, its activities there have included FPSO leasing, offshore installation and the construction of buoys, steel structures for turrets and topsides modules. Through continuous engagement and enduring relationships the Company has contributed to local communities by creating jobs and training opportunities. In 1997, the Company formed a joint venture with Sonangol, the Angolan National Oil Company. Out of this union came Sonasing, a company established to promote Angolan participation in oil and gas activities, acquire FPSOs and FSOs and charter them to the Angolan oil industry. In 2003 SBM Offshore and Sonangol formed OPS Serviços de Produção de Petróleos Ltd (OPS) in a joint venture, allowing both partners to operate and manage the Angolan fleet together. OPS also introduced training programmes to provide craft skills, safety training and offshore experience to a new generation of Angolan workers. An expanding pool of skilled local labour was needed to maximise Angolan economic development resulting from the oil and gas sector, and through a third joint venture, the Porto Amboim Estaleiros Navais Lda (PAENAL) yard, the two partners extended the existing training programme. Together, they created a dedicated training facility in addition to a much-needed fabrication and integration yard. This training school was located in Porto Amboim to train locally hired people, particularly those previously unemployed. The first training programmes launched covered welding, fitting, rigging and scaffolding. Newly trained workers begin with structural works. As they progress and gain experience, they move to more skilled labour related to topsides fabrication. The Porto Amboim Training School has capacity to teach around 150 trainees a year, with most courses taught to groups of 30 students and lasting 12 weeks. At the end of courses students undertake competency tests and those who graduate are issued with certificates. The success rate for most courses is more than 80%. All new students start their time at the school with two weeks of HSE training. In 2011 SBM Offshore, Sonangol and a new partner DSME (Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering) announced further investments to develop the PAENAL yard and to increase the scope of training to cover a wider range of technical skills to support dramatic growth in the yard’s workforce. The PAENAL (Porto Amboim Estaleiros Navais Lda) FPSO integration yard is one of the most significant investments ever made in fabrication in Angola. It delivers a major competitive advantage for the Company and its two partners. On completion, this ambitious, groundbreaking joint venture will strengthen Angola’s ability to support its growing offshore oil and gas sector. PAENAL’s development has been planned in two phases allowing for a steady increase in capability and capacity. On completion it will become the only yard in Angola capable of fabricating topsides modules with a This is a customized selection from the SBM Offshore N.V. Annual Report 2011 74
quayside large enough to accommodate a VLCC and a heavy lift crane to facilitate integration, hook up and commissioning of large FPSOs. Once fully operational, it will provide Angolan workers with approximately two million man-hours of work annually. The Porto Amboim Training School has already recorded a total of 202,736 hours of training for PAENAL’s employees. Throughout its development, the ratio of expatriates to Angolans at PAENAL has remained stable at 1.3. The progress made at the PAENAL yard demonstrates that the Company and its JV partner Sonangol are committed to bring benefits to the local community through job creation and training. With several new FPSO projects in the pipeline for Angola over the next few years, the PAENAL yard will undoubtedly play a key role in addressing the country’s shortfall in fabrication capacity, whilst also to increase local content even further in future. The ongoing expansion of PAENAL should encourage other international contractors and service providers to the Porto Amboim area. It will also provide an important stimulus for the local economy by using small and medium-sized companies from the region to serve the yard. The Company believes that these support services will grow in tandem with the yard itself - creating even more employment opportunities for local Angolans. Brazil The Company signed a first contract with Petrobras in 1996 for the lease and operate contract of FPSO II in Campos Basin. Since this date, it has delivered seven FPSOs to clients, including Chevron and Shell, for operation in Brazil. In 2005, the Company launched a competency assurance training programme at a dedicated facility in Macae, to support its FPSO operations and achieve a nationalization target of 70%-plus Brazilian employees in its expanding fleet. The Computer Based Training (CBT) module, available in Portuguese, provides detailed information about FPSO equipment and operations, but also safety. The Company trains around 70 Brazilian employees a year - covering everything from the fundamentals of petroleum production to an advanced process simulator course, for which it uses its own FPSO process control room simulator. The purpose of the DCS Simulator training centre is to improve operational performance offshore by exposing trainees to a wide variety of simulated conditions that demand operator response. This ensures that employees are well prepared to properly deal with any situation. The Brazilian government recently issued laws requiring that apprentices must fill 5% of the technical workforce of every company. The Company supports the Brazilian Apprentice Programme in partnership with Casa do Menor, a non-governmental organisation which is accredited by the government to deliver basic education. The Company directly sponsors a maintenance course for 13 apprentices every year. The objectives of the course are to teach the basic theory and practice of mechanics and electricity. Apprentices are evaluated quarterly against offshore induction programme objectives. The Company offers the top two students an offshore assignment. In 2010, three apprentices expressed their enthusiasm and desire to join the maintenance team. This is a customized selection from the SBM Offshore N.V. Annual Report 2011 75
