Vice President Kwesi Amissah Arthur has called for closer collaboration between Ghana and the City of Houston, Texas, particularly in the oil and gas sector, observing that such collaboration could be mutually beneficial. Mr Amissah Arthur made the call when he met with the Mayor of Houston, Texas, Annise. Parker, at the City Hall of Houston. Mr Amissah Arthur said whilst there is a lot to learn from Houston�s oil and gas industry, there is also huge potential for investment in Ghana�s oil and gas sector. He therefore urged oil and gas companies to seize the opportunity by investing in the country�s oil and gas sector. Mr Amissah Arthur also pointed out that collaboration in the area of fuel craft training such as maintenance and welding, and higher level education in oil and gas would be required to propel Ghanaians to various levels of employment in the local oil and gas industry. The Conference, the offshore oil and gas industry's foremost event for the development of hydrocarbon resources in the areas of drilling, environmental protection, exploration, production development, innovation and technology will end on Thursday May 8, 2014.
