MB
Petroleum believes that it can contribute to
socio-economic development of the places of
its operation by making investments on
development of the local workforce. In Oman,
HR strategies and plans are focused to
achieve Omanisation of 90% by 2011. To
achieve this goal, the HR department
arranged a number of training courses for
staff to improve their capabilities and
competences. The Group’s policy is to
develop its employees particularly in
providing the nationals with excellent
career opportunities.
MB Petroleum reached 70% Omanisation in
2004, when some of the rigs were manned 100%
by Omanis, from rig managers to roustabouts
and helpers. Through on-the-job training
programs Omani employees were given the
opportunity to become rig managers.
MB Petroleum gets Omanisation Award
The Ministry of Manpower has given an
Omanisation Award to MB Petroleum. The award
is in recognition of MB Petroleum’s
contribution to the employment, training and
development of Omani nationals in the oil
and gas industry. Mrs. Sharifa Al-Harthy,
the deputy chairperson of MB Holding, was
also given an award for her efforts in
promoting Omanisation within the company.
The awards are part of the Ministry’s
commitment to honour the efforts of private
sector establishments to drive the
Omanisation process.
MB Petroleum has continued to set exemplary
standards for others to follow in nurturing
and development of Omani human resources.
The company gives highest priority to create
ample opportunities for the self-development
and professional growth of its employees. It
conducts several customised training
programmes to impart new skills and
technical knowledge to Omanis to suit their
aptitude and requirements of the
organization. Firmly believing that its
greatest assets are people, the company
spares no effort in ensuring the well being
of its employees by helping them to develop
themselves in their personal and
professional lives.
