The National Oil Company of Mexico PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos), the biggest employer in Mexico was seeking for options for improving safety in their production facilities and the reduction of production downtime. PEMEX identified raising the basic knowledge and process training of its upstream production staff as key to achieving this goal.
In the past, PEMEX tried to achieve this with investments in single simulator facilities and encountered problems in keeping this technology updated and instructors qualified.
The solution
