As there is no institution that could grant qualifications of an explorative and prospecting oil well driller in Lithuania, the best assistant drillers will be sent to acquire a driller’s qualifications in a specialized training centre in Astrakhan (Russia) from 2008. We are very pleased that the knowledge of the first four employees, who were sent for the training, was evaluated positively. We would like to congratulate them, and we hope that they will apply their knowledge in their everyday work, as well as share it with their colleagues!
