In a note addressed to all its staff, the General Management of Addax petroleum oil & gas Gabon (APOGG), announces the effective implementation of the formalities for terminating the individual employment contracts of its agents following the recovery of its oil fields by the State at the end of a non-renewable Exploration and Production Sharing Contract (CEPP).
This procedure, which began on March 15 by the staff present at the three (3) production sites of Tsiengui, Obangue and Rabi, will extend, from April 1, 2024, to staff stationed at the base of Port-gentil and Libreville.
The note invites employees of recovery sites to report without delay to the human resources office, the head office in Port-gentil and Libreville.
The objective is to put in place a social plan to manage issues related to this dismissal, following the sale of APOGG’s assets to the Société nationale des hydrocarbures du Gabon – Gabon oil company (SNHG-GOC).
On January 5, the Director General of Hydrocarbons of Gabon, Ernest Ndong Nguema, notified Addax of the end of the exploitation and production sharing contract (CEPP), concluded in 2014, between the State and the subsidiary of the Chinese group SINOPEC, for a non-renewable period of 10 years. It expired on March 12, 2024.
In support of this notification and the provisions of economic dismissal set out above, the General Management of Addax informs its employees that as of March 12, the date of the resumption of production activities by SNHG-GOC on the three sites, the return to site of employees recovering is “the sole decision and the entire responsibility of the new operator”.
250 agents are affected by this economic dismissal, in accordance with the administrative authorization granted by the labor inspectorate responsible for the oil sector. Around 130 officers have received recruitment letters from the GOC. The others risk falling into the ranks of the unemployed.
Addax petroleum’s current production is 6,000 barrels per day.
