O&G opportunities being carved out for small, women-owned businesses – Head of Local Content Secretariat

Director of the Local Content Secretariat Michael Munroe says that efforts are being made to identify specific opportunities for small and women-owned enterprises to facilitate their participation in the country’s burgeoning oil and gas industry.

“That too is a conversation that we’re going to have with these [major oil] companies to see what opportunities can be specifically carved out for small businesses and women-owned businesses,” Munroe noted on Wednesday at the Guyana Supplier Forum 2026 held at the Marriott Hotel in Georgetown.

Back in February, a new digital Local Content Registration Portal was introduced to streamline the registration and certification process for suppliers and contractors operating in Guyana’s oil and gas sector.
