Stolt Valor with 18 Indians onboard hijacked

As families of the 18 Indians aboard the hijacked vessel MT Stolt Valor wait with fingers crossed, the ship's Mumbai-based manning agent said the ship's master had sent an email on Thursday informing them that "the crew had been confined to the ship's wheelhouse but were being allowed to attend to their daily needs. But, only under the close supervision of the hijackers".

According to the family of the Dehradun-based master, P K Goyal, he had also called his residence on Thursday.

"He told me that they were safe and I should look after the family and stop worrying," said Goyal's wife Seema. Goyal had also called her on Monday and informed about the hijack.

Officials from the ship's manning agent, Ebony Ship Management, said the vessel had arrived at the port of EYL on the east coast of Somalia under instructions from the hijackers.

Of the 18 Indians on board, the passports of 13 sailors were made in Mumbai. "Most of them are believed to be from the state and nearby regions. We believe that three sailors are from the city," said an official.

The vessel's Japanese owners have appointed a professional negotiator to engage into a dialogue with the hijackers. "An average hijack negotiation takes around 30 days and we haven't received information about the exact demands as yet," said Sunil Puri of Fleet Management, the ship's managers.

Officials from Fleet Management also added that the vessel, carrying a cargo of 23,818 tonnes of oil products, had been hijacked from the designated safety corridor despite the master having taken the precaution of keeping the vessel close to the northern limit of the corridor, the farthest from the Somalian coast.

Meanwhile, family members of the crew spent yet another day of uncertainty. Wiper Dipak Kumar Tandel's family, which lives in Valsad in Gujarat, was relieved after they heard about the email. "We were going to find a bride for him when he returned," said Dipak's uncle Pitambar. "I spoke to Dipak a week ago when the ship was in the Suez Canal. After that, we haven't heard his voice," he said.

Mumbai-based Rosary Fernando, whose brother-in-law Panirayan Lobo is on the ship, on Thursday visited the offices of the Directorate General of Shipping and the National Union of Seafarers of India (NUSI) but failed to get any information. "We don't know who to approach and how to go about it. We cannot achieve anything single-handedly," said Fernando.

Even the captain's family is finding themselves in the same position. "He said they were not being tortured," said Seema, Goyal's wife.
Goyal's daughter Ayushi (11) said her father was brave and would see through the ordeal. "He would return home before my examinations start later this month. I am confident that he will come back soon," she said.

Castrol Competition takes centre stage at MERI

The country’s only competition extravaganza in the maritime sector took centre stage at the Marine Engineering & Research Institute, Mumbai on September 16, 2008. Keenly contested by cadets from leading marine engineering institutes the contest was organised by the MERI, Mumbai in collaboration with M/s. Castrol India Ltd. Over the years the annual event has seen the competition gaining in popularity drawing in larger numbers of participants and spectators.

The chief guest and chief judge for the occasion Mr. M.V. Ramamurthy, president of Reliance Shipping lauded the participants who made excellent presentations of Technical Papers. All the judges noted the high standard of the presentations and expressed happiness over the quality of the papers. The contest has seen a marked improvement over the previous years besides greater participation. However, they insisted that the cadets should put in more efforts to keep improving the presentations further.

This year’s annual event saw cadets from M.E.R.I., Mumbai - G.M.E. & B.Sc (Maritime Science) cadets, Tolani Maritime Institute, Maharashtra Academy of Naval Education & Training (MANET), Samudra Institute of Maritime Studies participated in the competition. Five papers had been short-listed at an elimination round held a week earlier.

These were:
Latest developments in 2 stroke marine engines;
Hazards encountered by double hull tanker;
Impact of low sulphur fuel on shipping Industry;
Steps taken by Engine manufacturers to reduce emission from Sea-going ships;
Bio-degradable lubricants - future of Marine Lubrication needs.

It was the group led by cadet Durgesh Kumar Singh (B.Sc.-76) that won the First Prize of Rs 40,000/- their paper titled ‘Steps taken by Engine Manufacturers to reduce emission fro sea going ships’. They informed that the objective of International Maritime Organisation (IMO) was to bring down sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides fumes. These were being achieved by modifying fuel injection systems, improving the nozzle system design, using common rail technology, alpha cylinder lubricators, and Alpha adaptive cylinder oil control system. Also reduction was being achieved by exhaust gas recirculation, and by fuel water emulsion.

The Second prize of Rs 32,000/- was won by the group led by cadet Krishnendra Pratap Singh (G-1773) for their paper on ‘Bio-degradable lubricants - future of Marine Lubrication needs. They highlighted the fact that bio-lubricants would be in great demand in the near future. This will escalate the demand of oil seeds. Farming of oil seed will substitute food grains such as wheat and rice due to high demand and profit margin association with them.

The group led by cadet Aravindhan R. (G-1791) won the third prize of Rs 24,000 for their paper ‘Hazards encountered by double hull tankers’. They pointed out that although they are regarded as an answer to all problems of transport of oil at sea without pollution and have some advantage over single hull however, their design is important to ensure better maintenance and operation. Because of their complex design and structure they are potentially more susceptible to problems caused due to poor maintenance and operation as rust and other factors can play havoc.

The fourth prize of Rs 14,000 was collected by the Group led by cadet Shah Kishan Ashok (G-1794) for their paper on ‘Latest developments in two-stroke engines.” They
propounded the theory that ‘two-stroke’ would be the most economical possibility for converting chemical fuel energy into mechanical energy. Due to the electronic control system and a degree of freedom there were now considerably wider spectrums of injection design. When taking all possibilities of combustion process design into consideration, the injection system is one of the most important components of the engine and the engine is no longer functional.

The two Consolation Prizes went to the cadets from Maharashtra Academy of Naval Education & Training (MANET) led by cadet C. Michael and BMS (MERI, Mumbai) led by cadet Sudhanshu Kishore (B.Sc.-124). M/s. Castrol India Limited announced an amount of Rs 1,38,000/- towards the prizes. During the prize distribution Seacom Engineering College informed that it was offering consolation prize of Rs 10,000/-

The group of cadet C. Michael presented their paper on ‘Impact of low sulphur fuel on shipping industry’. They contended that while using low sulphur fuel oil in marine engines care should be taken to ensure that TBN and feed rate of cylinder oil should be according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Getting the entire industry to switch over to distillate fuel will cause disruption to oil supplies. Application of suitable technology will ensure that residual fuel can be successfully used in the future. However, they suggested sea water scrubbing but could not support this contention while fielding questions from the audience.

The three judges from the industry, besides Mr. M. V. Ramamurthy, were Mr. Gurdeep S. Taluja from Castrol India Ltd. and Mr. V. P. Datar. The deputy director of M.E.R.I., Mumbai, Mr. M. K. Ghosh in his speech mentioned that the event is open to all marine institutes other than MERI and gave his wishful thought that it will one day become an all India competition with more participants from the industry.

Mr. A.N.S. Neti and Mr. M. Ballabh, senior faculty members of M.E.R.I., Mumbai, conducted the function. There was a large number of industry representative and cadets from the Institute of Marine Engineers and other institutes as well as from the Ex-cadets Association present at the occasion.

Curbing Greenhouse gas emission from ships

India has no intention of agreeing with anything that is made mandatory by the Indian Maritime Organisation (IMO) with regard to curtailing carbon dioxide emissions. This was revealed by India’s IMO representatives during an ‘Awareness Seminar on Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Emission from Ships’ held on September 06, 2008 at the Maritime Training Institute of the Shipping Corporation of India, Mumbai.
The net effect of shipping as a result of emission is actually that it has a cooling affect on the earth since shipping emits sulphur dioxides, methane and other flue gases which help to reflect the sunlight back instead of allowing it to reach the earth, informed I.N. Bose, general manager of Great Eastern. Thus shipping is said to cool the earth.
Greenhouse gases are those that absorb infra-red radiation present in the atmosphere. The gases responsible for this are water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, halogenated fluorocarbons, ozone, perfluorinated carbons, and hydrofluorocarbons. The emissions produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earth's atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infra-red radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space.
“Melting of the Artic ice cap, frequent generation of cyclones of large magnitude, floods and droughts are the cause of excess GHG,” stated D. Mehrotra, Deputy chief surveyor-cum-Senior DDG (Technical). “In order to curtail harmful emissions for ships the IMO passed the Resolution A 963 (23) as a guideline for adoption by member countries. These guidelines indicate how marine bunker fuel emission could be restricted.

“India’s stand has been that we will not agree to anything that is made mandatory by IMO on marine bunker fuel emission because they want to impose a bunker levy. Our contention is that this levy should not be on the same basis that is fixed for developed countries. There should be a differentiation between the levy charged for the developed and under-developed countries. It is not right for the IMO to impose the same standards for both. If there is no differentiated responsibility it amounts to penalising the shipping trade.”

The emission from shipping is less than that caused by road transport but more than that from airliners. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh too recently came out with an action plan for the country to achieve emission reduction at the national level.

I.N. Bose, general manager, Great Eastern, explained that for bringing down ship emissions it is possible to do so at the design stage of a ship by adhering to certain standards. “Operating index should not be mandatory but recommendatory by nature although it could be made mandatory in future. Coming to ship design, if classification societies that are paid by the ship owners are made responsible to undertake the certification during the construction stage itself, there will be a tendency to compromise on the design of a ship. Hence, it is difficult to define a common base line for all ships.”

It was observed by the working group appointed by IMO that if a market-based mechanism for transport is to be introduced, it should not be more per ton that is moved by ship than by road because in that case there would be a tendency for cargo to get shifted on to road transport. Global levy on marine bunker fuel should be designed to act as an incentive for reducing fuel consumption. Besides, levy has to be very high to alter consumption behaviour and if the cost is passed on to the consumer only then would the purpose be served. It was also established that the collected funds must be managed by the shipping companies and this money should go to pay those who pollute less than those who pollute more. However, the working group could not come to any consensus on this issue.

The initial focus on the concept of indexing scheme and GHG was on carbon dioxide emission. This indexing developed by the IMO working group on air pollution is based on operational data and has the benefit of easy access to the necessary data according to U.K. Kalghatgi, chief surveyor of Indian Register of Shipping. This operational data describes the true environmental input / output from the use of a ship. The unit of measurement is the basis for CO2 emission. “At the IMO meeting it was only India which could come up with the input data with regard to the elements considered in development of GHG emission standards,” he said.

Khetan Deshmukh from Lloyd Register gave an overview of the climate change and the focus on clean development mechanism. He noted that since all issues of climate change have cropped up over just the past two hundred years after the industrial revolution, this clearly indicates that the previous generations prior to that lived in harmony with nature.

Venkata R. Kakaraparthi of DNV warned, “If the Earth warms up by 0.75 oC, then the effect is that the ice will begin melting in the Artic; endangered species will get extinct; many islands may disappear and we don’t know what will happen to crops.”

Earlier when targets were fixed for cutting down on emissions there was no mechanism to keep them in place. Now three mechanisms have been developed. It may be long before IMO members become serious about operating in a safe atmosphere.

AET orders 3 product tankers using newbuildcon

Tanker owner-operator AET has ordered three 6,600 dwt oil/chemical tankers from Russia’s Okskaya Shipyard using BIMCO’s Newbuildcon standard newbuilding contract. The contract for the new tankers was signed on August 28, with the vessels due for delivery between July and December 2009.
The order for the new tankers is aimed at expanding AET’s fleet capacity and extending the geographical coverage of its operations. Long-term employment for the vessels has already been secured.
Zurina Raja Abu Bakar, AET’s legal counsel responsible for orchestrating the deal, said: “Newbuildcon provides a solid contractual platform that facilitates the placement of newbuilding contracts for both shipowners and yards. It represents an excellent standard form suitable for global use.
AET is a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysian-based MISC and operates 12 VLCCs, 49 aframax, one Panamax and 12 product tankers. It also has a fleet of lightering support vessels in the US Gulf.

Greatship takes delivery of platform support vessel

Greatship (India) Limited (GIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Great Eastern Shipping Co. Ltd. has taken delivery of Greatship Dhriti, a UT755LN Platform Support Vessel from Aker Yards, Norway. Greatship Dhriti is a DP2, FiFi1 full service vessel built to exacting specifications, and capable of supporting offshore exploration and production globally. Immediately on delivery, the vessel will proceed to Mexico for a two year charter. GIL currently owns and operates three PSVs, two in India and one in the North Sea, and two AHTSVs, one in South Africa, and one in the Middle East. GIL and its subsidiaries also have an order book of nineteen vessels and one rig under construction - one more PSV in Norway, two AHTSVs in Sri Lanka, four AHTSVs in Batam, four MPSVs in Singapore, two MSVs in India, four ROVSVs in Sri Lanka, two 150 TBP AHTSVs in Batam, and a premium 350' jack up rig in Singapore. All Greatship's vessels are built to the highest standards of safety and operational efficiency, and conform to existing and envisaged IMO and Class rules, and are capable of operating in offshore waters across the world.

Meeting new standards in Oil & Gas - IORS 2008

As the scramble for crude oil gets more spirited, companies have begun leveraging a diverse set of capabilities involving people, processes and technologies that stretch beyond the frontiers of known sciences. The will to succeed has served as the driver for technological growth in this spectrum. The past few years have seen several attempts being made to showcase the Indian oil and gas scenario through conferences, expos and other forums. It is the Indian Oil and Gas Review Symposium (IORS), an annual event since the past 15 years that has done justice bringing to the fore every aspect of this highly volatile sector.

The growing reputation of this event continues to draw ever large numbers of visitors and participants each year. However, the IORS 2008 held at the Hotel Taj Lands End, Mumbai on September 01 and 02, 2008 saw the biggest number yet with over 700 participants from 200 plus international companies spanning over 16 countries making the most of the event. Nearly 100 stalls were set up in the Hotel and in the hotel’s sprawling grounds.

Oil and gas may be the chief commodities fuelling and polluting the world presently, but it is the need to secure the future with a more permanent source of fuel and protect the environment so as to present the future generations with a world that is greener, more eco-friendly and resourceful. This was one of the major concerns that came to be expressed at the symposium.

Featuring the theme: Emerging Business & Technologies in Exploration & Production, Refining and Marketing, Petrochemicals and Retails, this year IORS saw Indian and global experts focusing on finance and technology from various angles to bring out the best and most profitable solutions in the overall petroleum sector in all relevant perspectives including exploration, production, refining, marketing, LNG, CBM and alternative energy options.

In the session on ‘Innovatives’ the paper by Dr. Siddhartha SenGupta, principal scientist, Tata Consultancy Services figured prominently. Deliberating on the topic ‘The Next Generation Supply Chains – Integrated and Profit maximized’, he substantiated that over the last decade, major supply chain management (SCM) software vendors like i2, SAP, Manugistics, JDA have been supporting advanced planning and scheduling, including enterprise profit optimization by tracking segmented demand fulfilment. “Most of the demand, pricing, supply, costs, resource and other data is available in the SCM system databases,” he said. “Advanced supply chains are equally well planned at all three levels – strategic, tactical and operational.”

“Intelligent oilfield solutions have key performance-oriented implementation components,” according to Neeraj Gupta*, oil & gas solutions leader, IBM Asean/South Asia. “These interdependent components are essential to achieving significant returns on investment. Implementing them facilitates real-time global asset awareness—or access to data from all of the appropriate assets—by enabling proactive asset management using frequently captured data that can be distributed, converted into relevant knowledge, evaluated and acted upon in real time.”

Considering the hostile environment, pipelines face several challenges. In this regard Dr Richard Perrinaud of Arkema, USA highlighted the emerging technologies in corrosion resistant underground piping systems. Taking on a similar approach Bilal Ghalaini, Dupont Fluoropolymer, presented Innovative down-hole coating solutions for oil and gas production. Besides, techniques such as ‘Line Pipe-liquid Free Epoxy coating’ and various protection methods for ultra deep water pipelines where harsh conditions existed were featured in detail.

The vulnerability of the oil and gas industry is borne from the fact that it is hazardous by nature posing high risk to property, environmental and human safety. “It is Integrated Management System (IMS) Quality, Environmental and Safety Management that can ensure safe, reliable and constant quality of the products and services in oil & gas Industry according to V. Murlidhar, general manager of International Certification Services. In his paper he presented how IMS could prove beneficial for developing, implementing and monitoring the IMS system for maintaining occupational health safety and protection of the environment.

“It is less expensive and a more efficient use of organisations,” said David Brewer of International Certification Services. “It helps to ensure that various issues of concern are treated as a line management responsibility, ensuring conformance with the ‘management commitment’ requirements of these standards. IMS can deal with simple management structures to quite sophisticated ones, with various departments assuming prime responsibility.”


‘Ensure Process Safety Management compliance’, was the motto suggested by Kjell Eriksson of Det Norske Veritas. Build a Culture for Process Safety he advised. The DNV Initiatives he believed in were: i) standardize sensor communication protocol; ii) offer consolidated data analysis; and iii) Provide real time monitoring, evaluation, and risk assessment services.

Curtailing emissions and factoring in a healthier atmosphere has been a trend that has got most pundits in the industry working overtime. Re-cycling waste and ensuring a more complete combustion of fuel has turned out to be the commonest way out. T.R. Rao, director of STEPS, presented a paper that dwelt on the ‘Polycrack Technology’ which provides waste disposal services using a technology which converts waste in the oil and gas industry into useful products and adds value to the industry. Thus non-edible seeds, electronic waste, plastics, etc. are being converted into oils which are very close to gasoline and diesel.

Shriram Iyer another technocrat highlighted the success of re-cycling tyres, rejects or plastics into furnace oil as is being done at his unit at Vasai, Mumbai.

The extensive research conducted by ONGC and the setting up of facilities for generating power through alternative sources of energy including wind, solar, geothermal and tidal was amply dealt with by Anoop Kumar, ggm – technical services of ONGC, Dehradun, and Atish Chandra Saha, BD & JV, ONGC, New Delhi. The company has been successful in generating a significant amount of electricity in Gujarat through wind power for captive use.

It can safely be said that IORS is proving to be a useful platform for interaction and a forum where the cream of the global oil and gas business gathers to discuss threadbare each and every aspect concerning the energy segment which is at the present time facing one of the biggest environmental and financial challenges. The forum no doubt has earned its place as a vital component in the hydrocarbon sector in the Indian sub-continent.

Great Offshore (International) Ltd acquires high end modern AHTSV

Great Offshore (International) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Great Offshore Ltd. has taken delivery of a high end modern Anchor Handling Tug cum Supply Vessel (AHTSV) . The vessel is currently performing a spot charter at around USD 47,000/ day for Murphy Oil at Malaysia.
The UT 722 design, 2008 built vessel with 165 Tons bollard pull and an accommodation of 26 is DP 1 and FiFi -1 compliant. Classed with DNV, the vessel is appropriately equipped to meet global standards.
Great Offshore has 14 vessels (including the above) capable of deep water operations with 7 of them operating in international waters on various term and spot charters. The current addition further strengthens Great Offshore’s capability of serving clients across North Sea, South and West Africa, Middle East, Far East and Russian Federation waters.
With this acquisition, the fleet of Great Offshore stands at 41 assets (2 drilling rigs, 27 diverse offshore support vessels, a marine construction barge and 11 harbour tugs).

ONGC takes the eLearning route towards upgradation

Concerned by the growing attrition rate and the need to be strategically well placed for maintaining its competitive edge, the Oil & Natural Gas Corporation India Ltd (ONGC) launched eAcademy to provide its employees with opportunities for self development and a range of oil & gas related e-learning products. Christened Gyandhara, it has been built, and is being implemented and managed by 24x7 Learning.

Ms. Priti Mathur, Head - ONGC Academy, ONGC, informed that the corporation spends around Rs 30 crore on training alone. Gyandhara the new venture which earmarked Rs 2 crore initially will be able to reach its employees in the remotest of places and they can undertake training and get re-trained from their own place of work at their own convenient pace and time and within their own time frame.

“We have a workforce of 38,000 and the HR has been focussing on upgrading employees through training. Since many people have been leaving ONGC we hope this venture will help in reversing the trend. Benchmarked to global standards, Gyandhara will provide its employees with opportunities for self development and learning. Oil and gas are expensive and we need to be the best. We are working with IIT, IIM and other faculties from the US and UK and have now partnered OPITO, the renowned oil and gas academy and Atlas Interactive Limited, the oil and gas industry’s eLearning content specialists to bring to India this complete learning solution for the oil and gas Industry. 24x7 Learning would provide OPITO certifications post completion of the course to all ONGC employees.”
Speaking on the partnership, Karthik KS, CEO - 24x7 Learning, gave a presentation on the versatility of the programme which facilitates members of staff to start doing the course from their work stations and receive the certification. He also highlighted the various advantages and the aspects of this powerful medium of learning and the global players who would benefit from it.
He said, “We are delighted to be associated with Atlas Interactive and OPITO, this alliance brings to the table the expertise of two international organizations excelling in their respective fields. Through this partnership we will provide holistic solutions to the oil and gas industry. We are also extremely happy to associate with ONGC, India, and ensure a consistent and high standard of training to its employees.”
Simulations can take learning beyond the possible – into realms that can never be accessed through regular training he explained. It can be visualized in an instructor-led classroom-based training setting. However e-learning, can show the animated action of the robotic arms and all such activities that are beyond the reach of the learner. e-Learning includes the use of a variety of media and techniques for learning, including text, sound, graphics, photography, animation, video, e-mail, discussion forums, chat rooms, virtual meetings or tutorials, and simulations.
Companies in the oil and gas sector are rapidly embracing e-learning as an integral part of their training initiatives. The reason for this lies in the benefit it offers to their staff and their bottom line. Considering the issues faced by oil and gas companies in working offshore and meeting the demands of health and safety, e-learning benefits are pertinent to meeting their critical organizational needs.
Employees of oil and gas companies require a large amount of learning material. This learning cannot be defined within the narrow parameters of a few courses. They have to be wide and should encompass a wide range of professional and personal development.
For example, employees are typically situated in several levels of the hierarchy. When a General Manager wants to learn about the nuances of making an effective presentation, he/she faces a dilemma. He/she cannot go to a presentation expert in the Public Relations department and seek his/her help as this would entail a 'loss of professional competence’. This General Manager can then go to a secure system and demand a learning course on 'making presentations' – in complete confidentiality.
The system has proved to be an easy-to-use tool that gives employees and managers the ability to plan and track competency-development activities. The primary training initiatives focus on exploration and production, drilling operations and maintenance, safety and environmental concerns, technical skills for engineering and geology professionals.
Mr. David Doig, CEO, OPITO commented that we learn from our mistakes but the smart person learns from somebody else’s mistakes. Drawing attention to one of the world’s worst disasters in the oil and gas field he gave graphic details about the 167 people who perished. The investigation indicated the huge number of preventable errors that had been committed, most of which were human in nature.
“Nobody does what we do for the oil and gas sector,” he stated. “We add value to employers’ efforts and investments. We know the standards and what needs to be done and we deal with only the higher level of employers.”
Talking on the collaboration Mr. Doig said, “We are very happy to partner with 24x7 Learning, India’s premier Talent Lifecycle Management Company. Our partnership offers exciting solutions for talent development in the Indian Oil and Gas Industry.”
Tim Love, Sr. VP-GSM, Atlas Interactive Limited, said, “Aimed at addressing the shortage of skills within the oil industry, the learning module from 24x7 Learning will enable both new recruits and experienced technicians to acquire approved qualifications, and it will assist employers to assess the skills and capabilities of their workforce within an accepted accreditation system. This is a brilliant initiative that we have in partnership with 24x7 Learning and we look forward to working closely in the coming years to develop this suit of learning modules for technicians of all ages within the industry.”
24x7 Learning is India’s premier Talent Lifecycle Management Company that delivers end-to-end learning solutions. From inception in 2001, they have evolved with changing market needs. The equity from Network 18 is testimony to their robust growth and sustained financial performance.

(www.24x7learning.com)
Recognized as one of the 50 fastest growing companies in India by Deloitte 24x7 Learning is the largest e-Learning implementation company in India with users in more than 25 countries across the world. It has provided learning solutions to over a million learners since its inception in 2001. The company was awarded the Red Herring 100 Asia award in 2006 and is the winner of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 India 2007 and the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia. 24x7 Learning is amongst the NASSCOM Top 100 IT Innovators of 2007 and today it serves 7 of top 10 IT outsourcing companies and 6 of top 10 BPO/ITES companies in India.

e-learning in the Oil and Gas sector in India is in its infancy. Given the fact that India is one of the fastest growing oil economies in the world where billions of dollars are being pumped in the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors, cutting-edge training was so far grossly neglected. 24x7 Learning will help reduce training costs and assist in building a knowledge-based workplace.
