Seven engineers from Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) have completed a technical training programme run by Sasol at the Temane Gas Processing Plant in Inhambane province, following six months of structured instruction carried out between May and October 2026.

According to a Sasol statement, participants received their certificates on Wednesday, 21 October, at the conclusion of a programme designed to strengthen national engineering capacity and prepare professionals for future technical responsibilities in the hydrocarbons sector.

The cohort comprised four engineers from the technical assets division, two from surface technical facilities — specialising in Mechanical Engineering and in Control and Instrumentation — and one from the Production division.

The programme followed the 70:20:10 development model, which combines workplace experience, learning through professional interaction, and formal instruction. Participants attended technical sessions and carried out field activities, applying the knowledge gained directly to operations at Temane.

One of the core components was an international certification in Well Integrity Management Across the Life Cycle, completed in July by 24 professionals, including the seven ENH engineers. The training focused on the management of well safety barriers, the identification of operational risks, and the application of mitigation measures to ensure the safety and reliability of infrastructure.

Sasol’s Human Resources Director in Mozambique, Leovigildo Juliasse, underscored the importance of developing professionals capable of applying and passing on the knowledge they acquire.

“The country needs professionals who maintain the standards they have learned at Sasol and share that knowledge with others,” he said, encouraging participants to continue deepening their skills and to maintain contact with their mentors.

He stressed that the initiative’s impact should extend beyond the training period. “This experience goes beyond certification: it is about leaving a lasting contribution,” he added.

Edna Banze, one of the participating engineers, highlighted the value of combining formal learning with practical application, as well as the support received throughout the programme.

“The support, guidance, and mentorship provided by this team were invaluable throughout the entire journey. We are no longer the same people we were when we arrived. This experience has transformed us,” she said.

Sasol said the initiative forms part of its broader investment in the development of Mozambican professionals and reinforces its collaboration with ENH. The company said continued practical experience will consolidate the competencies acquired and prepare participants to take on new technical roles.
