11 Crux of the Matter For Capacity Development The Oil Industry is facing a human resources challenge in two areas: the ageing workforce and the shortage of skills, Mohammed Al Sellemi, Human Resources Director at Saudi Aramco, said. The industry cannot afford to lose talent when the economy is down. In other industries, such as finance and transportation, a college graduate may become an expert in their field in approximately 3 years. However, in the oil and gas industry, it takes about 10 to 16 years; Mr Al Sellemi explained while participating on a panel session about workforce attraction and retention at the 2014 IADC Critical Issues Middle East Conference in Dubai on 9th December. 11

14 GHANA OIL & GAS INDUSTRY SUMMARY Ghana Oil & Gas Industry Overview GNPC ACCELERATED GROWTH STRATEGY Ghana s oil and gas sector is nascent but has great promise; About US$15 US$20 billion is expected to be invested within the decade to appraise and develop new discoveries; Industry is growing in size and is expected to reach USD20 billion by 2015 and USD60 billion by 2022; The Government continues to provide the enabling environment for the industry to thrive; GNPC repositioning itself to take commercial leadership Building Capacity and Expanding Activities; Replacing and Growing Reserves; Efficient Capitalization and Optimum Participation; and Catalysing Local Content Development. MAJOR BARRIER TO ENTRY one of the key barriers to entry into the sector is capital. The E&P business is highly capital intensive. [A] The Jubilee development cost US$5.8 billion [B] TEN is expected to cost around US$5.9 billion [C] Sankofa Gye Nyame is expected to cost around US$6.3 billion Ghana s financial sector is rather too small to exploit the main opportunities in the oil and gas sector. As at June 2013, Total Assets of the banking industry stood at US$12.64 billion whilst total lending was US$6.13 billion at the same period. With single obligor limits, very little capacity for Ghana s banks to play in 14
