The chief executive of Flagship Energy Limited, Mr Osagie Ediale, has advised local oil and gas traders/operators to leverage on technology if they truly desire to join the global oil and gas community.
In a statement he issued yesterday in Abuja, Ediale said riding on the pedestal of the newly inaugurated Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), the deployment of technological initiatives for procurements in the oil and gas sector, will certainly boost operations and by this adoption, operations in the sector will be seamless as all the perceived or imagined bottlenecks will become things of the past.
The boss of Flagship Energy Ltd said that technology is fast dominating every operation and all human activities, so introducing it to the oil and gas sector especially in both the upstream and downstream areas should be encouraged.
“Elsewhere in the global community, technology has been adopted in virtually everything and so, we should leverage on this locally by making it a way of life” Ediale submitted.
While giving kudos to President Muhammadu Buhari for his consent of the PIA, Ediale said indigenous operators like Flagship Energy are looking forward to supporting the growth of the Nigerian economy through technological innovations and efficient business strategies in the light of the complexities in the oil and gas sector.
‘’Knowledge of information technology driven discipline, which requires specialised skills set and deep financial capability are key drivers of the sector,” he explained.
