Excel Guyana Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kris Sammy explained that New Tech offered more than 50 years of experience in offshore exploration and development, which is expected to ensure the safe and sustainable growth of Guyana’s rising energy sector.

New Tech Global has operations in all major oil and gas basins in the United States as well as international locations, and boasts of more than 350 active master service agreements in which the organisation provides customised solutions in staffing, environmental services, and project management.

We are committed to working with the Guyanese people to advance the region,” said Keith Grimes, CEO and Director of New Tech Global.

Meanwhile, New Tech Global’s Director of Operations and Business Development, Santiago Estefania noted that through this collaboration, the two companies were well-positioned to help their clients maintain safe and productive operations.

“After an extensive evaluation of the local market and service providers, we chose Excel Guyana, because the organisation’s management systems, resources, and expertise perfectly complement our services,” Estefania said.

Completely Guyanese-owned, Excel Guyana Inc is registered with the Local Content
