Partnership important, executive says

PARTNERSHIP between resource developers and landowner companies is crucial to the success of the industry, Leon Buskens, Oil Search senior vice-president external affairs and community, says.
Buskens was speaking at a welcome dinner for the second Oil Search landowner company leaders’ stakeholder engagement workshop on Wednesday hosted by Peter Botten, the managing director of Oil Search.
Held in Kokopo, East New Britain, the workshop brought together Oil Search’s senior management team, leaders from landowner companies operating in Oil Search project areas and guests to meet, share information and work together to discuss challenges and identify business optimisation opportunities.
It was attended by landowner company business leaders from Hides, Moran, Kutubu and Gobe, observers Laba from the Plant site and IPI from Porgera, and key Oil Search senior representatives, including Gerea Aopi, the PNG country director for Oil Search.
