As part of the implementation of the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the Société Mauritanienne des Hydrocarbues (SMH) and the Algerian Petroleum Institute (IAP), the two parties signed on January 17, 2024 a Framework Contract paving the way for a fruitful collaboration focused on skills development and training.
This Framework Contract was signed, on the Mauritanian side, by Mr. Tourad Abdel Baghi, General Director of the company and, on the Algerian side, by Mr. Abdelkader GENOUNE, General Director of the institute.
The Algerian Petroleum Institute, as an institute integrated into SONATRACH, specialized in various carriers of the petroleum and hydrocarbons industry, is thus committed to supporting the Mauritanian Hydrocarbons Company in training, development, recycling and strengthening the capacities of its Human Resources in the various areas relevant to the energy sector. This includes in particular hydrocarbons, hydrogen and low-carbon and clean energies.
SMH and IAP expressed their common desire and commitment to contribute, in their areas of competence, to consolidate and diversify the already excellent relations between Mauritania and Algeria.
