Both parties benefit and work together to avoid overlapping research and development activities.

In 2013 I had the privilege to join IGU as the first secondee from the Middle East for two years. I felt privileged to be the first from this region and was proud to represent our new major market players. I thank Oman LNG for seeing the benefits of such a program and IGU for providing the opportunity. The experience was educational and enjoyable and felt like a ‘golden ticket’ – providing massive networking opportunities and industry knowledge, both of which have been essential in enhancing my career since.
