TTS Begins Process Improvement Training in Nigeria
TTS and TBR Strategies came together in November to perform an Operations and Maintenance assessment for Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria. Tony Foskey of TTS along with Preston Ingalls and Elias Acquah of TBR Strategies spent seven days assessing the Agabada and Okolama gas plants with the intention of developing a cohesive strategy for improvement.
“There is a tremendous amount of work to be done at these plants,” said Ingalls. “Oil output at Ogabada and Okloma has been reduced from 1.2 million barrels of oil per day to around 300,000, and this is due largely in part to an insufficiently trained workforce.”
TTS and TBR Strategies will return to Nigeria in late January, during which time they will establish a plan to make the Okolama and Agbada facilities world-class by 2012. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and TTS is eager to combine forces with TBR Strategies to improve the quality of life there by introducing the culture to new technologies.
