Hassi R Mel Algeria Sonatrach Training Center The first was the Sonatrach Training Center in Hassi R Mel, Algeria (opened in June 2000) followed by the Petrobras Training Center in Macaè, Brazil (opened in July 2002). In September 2004 the first GE Regional Training Center was inaugurated in Port Harcourt Nigeria. In this Training Center, we provide technical information, training and assistance for Customers in Nigeria and the surrounding regions. It is the first GE facility of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. Construction has been completed on a new, four-story building located in the industrial zone of Port Harcourt City, Rivers State, Nigeria. The center includes two fully equipped classrooms for mechanical training sessions, a gas turbine control panel simulator, Bently Nevada vibration training equipment and other instructional materials such machined cut-outs of component parts and displays designed to instruct students on the operational features of GE equipment for oil and gas applications. The Center offers customized training as well as standard training packages for GE equipment for operation and maintenance personnel, and leadership and management courses. Macaè Brazil Petrobras Training Center Port Harcourt Nigeria GE Energy Training Center Through the new centers, we are developing learning environments that provide information on technologies of interest to our Customers. One of the key objectives is to increase GE s impact and the value that it adds by creating local resources to deliver technical information and assistance to our customers. Development of other Training Centers located in strategic regions for GE s Oil and Gas business is underway. 35
