Sharing Knowledge: Heritage Hosts Surinamese Students

Visiting Surinamese students

On September 9, 2022, Heritage's Subsurface Business Unit hosted 16 students from Anton de Kom University, Suriname. The students visited the Heritage Geological Lab in Pointe-A-Pierre to learn about Heritage's exploration and production processes and the practical application of micropaleontology as an exploration tool. The visit was a component of the university's Petroleum Geology and Offshore Engineering postgraduate programmes.

Speaking at the visit, Clyde Griffith, Lecturer at Anton de Kom University, stated that the workshop was informative and added value to the University's Petroleum Geoscience programme. He said that "exploration in Suriname is relatively new compared to Trinidad and Tobago's century-old energy sector, so it was an excellent opportunity for students to experience firsthand what they learned in the classroom."

The visit was noteworthy for Heritage as it was one of the first workshops done for students from a regional or international educational institution. It also underscored the value of strategic joint industry

partnerships that continue to build the energy sector's human capital. Heritage would like to thank the American Association Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Young Professionals Trinidad and Tobago Chapter, the Anton de Kom University and Resilog Limited for partnering with this exercise.
