Equatorial Guinea

We continue to develop and promote Equatoguineans for supervisory and leadership roles. From 2019 to year-end 2022, MEGPL nationalized six manager positions, resulting in three departments being fully nationalized: MEGPL’s human resources, supply chain and external programs and liaison.

At year-end 2022, approximately 400 national citizens were employed at MEGPL, representing approximately 93% of the total MEGPL workforce. In addition, EG LNG and AMPCO employed approximately 625 national workers at year-end 2022.

We’re also developing the local workforce by providing educational and skill-building opportunities. Over the past five years, more than 80 Equatoguinean students attending universities within and outside the country have received on-the-job experience through our internship programs. Our partnerships with government educational institutions including “12 de Octubre” Technical College and the National University of Equatorial Guinea demonstrate our ongoing commitment to building local capacity in the oil and gas sector.

We invest in our workplace health, environment and safety (HES) management systems to help achieve world-class safety performance and minimize environmental impacts in EG. In 2022, MEGPL, EG LNG and AMPCO achieved a full year without an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable event or Lost Time Incident (LTI), with over 3.9 million hours worked. Our commitment to safety also resulted in more than 1,700 field leadership safety engagements and more than 13,000 behavior-based safety observations.

In 2022, we continued managing COVID-19 by focusing on vaccination efforts. Through the vaccination program implemented at Punta Europa in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, we have been able to meet the goal of vaccinating almost 100% of our EG workforce. This has enabled us to significantly reduce the potential impacts caused by the virus as well as ease some protocols we had in place.

In addition to occupational health and safety, process safety management is key to maintaining the safety and reliability of our operations. Our management system implements elements that fulfill the requirements of the OSHA 1910.119 standard (Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals). In 2022, a third party process safety management system audit was initiated to identify areas for continuous improvement
