‘One Basin Three Nations’ is a homegrown private initiative that was established by a group of local entrepreneurs with consulting from International Oil and Gas experts. Our vision is to establish One Basin Three Nations as the premier Oil & Gas Seminar/Conference brand in the Guiana’s and region and to initiate a voluntary framework agreement where stakeholders collaborate on key themes such as transfer of knowledge, best practice sharing, health, safety, and environmental issues that will all be pivotal to the success of the emerging energy sector.
One of the One Basin Three Nations goals is to come up with a voluntary framework agreement where all stakeholders collaborate or work together on common goals such as transfer of knowledge, best practice sharing, health, safety, environment to contribute to sustainable development of the Guiana’s.

We aim to raise awareness and contribute to the sustainable development of oil and gas in the Guiana Basin by organizing events, development programs and training courses, together with our partners (Ministry of Natural Resources and Ministry of Trade, Industry & Tourism) for stakeholders such as the local business communities (SMEs), Government, NGOs and many more involved.
