Africa

RLG International has been working with domestics and multi-nationals in Africa since 2009. Our work has focused on the oil and gas industry, both upstream with drilling and production, and downstream in refineries and terminals. These projects have taken us to 15 African countries, including Nigeria, Angola, South Africa, Tanzania, Egypt and Libya.

We know that one of the keys to success when working in different parts of the world is to respect the local culture and customs while implementing changes. In Africa, when possible, we have done this by using performance coaches that speak the local languages (i.e. Portuguese in Angola, Arabic in Egypt, etc.) and by adopting the local work practices (staying in staff housing, using local hours of work, etc.). Our clients have repeatedly told us that these practices have helped make us successful.

We are proud to speak of our many African success stories in diverse projects, including:

Refinery turnarounds
Capital projects
Storage tank maintenance
Reducing downtime with drilling contractors
Implementing process improvements
Improved personal and process safety
Improved drilling operations
Efficiency in processes

RLG understands Africa's uniqueness and diverse cultures. We continue to help our clients improve their track record of success.

“At first, I thought performance management was a dog and pony show for management. Now I realize how much RLG’s process has helped me as a manager to get organized and to hold people accountable.”

Team Leader, Drilling Office

“I am elated to see this co-ordinated team effort among the operator and contractors pay off handsomely with estimated savings around the $5 million mark. We could not have done this without RLG.”

Ghana Sector Manager

“Safety, efficiency and reliability are key elements of our business. Communication is a process that helps achieve the planning and execution of preventive maintenance. Success is achieved by effective hand-over notes and each crew continuing the work from the previous crew. RLG has definitely helped us improve in each of these areas.”

Much of RLG’s work in Africa has been with rotating work schedules. This has allowed us to have RLG coaches from around the world work in Africa including RLGers from North America (Canada, US), Asia (Russia), South America (Bolivia), Europe (England, Scotland), and Australia.
Did you know…The continent of Africa as a whole produces significantly more oil than it consumes, making it a net exporter of oil. And the vast majority of Africa’s oil exports are in the form of crude oil not refined product. Consumption in Africa is expected to increase 50% over the next 20 years, while global consumption is only expected to rise 20%.
For our work in Africa, and every project, we bring the best of what we have learned from world-class clients around the globe. This can be a game-changer in a developing country to quickly elevate their performance to that of the leaders.
