Guyanese, Ghanian companies to offer real-time monitoring of oil & gas production

A joint venture between local company, e-Magic Guyana, and Ghanian-based West Coast Gas Ghana (WCGG) Limited has led to the establishment of AnaWorX Inc. – a company that aims to revolutionise how the local oil and gas industry monitors and manages production in real-time.
Through this partnership, e-Magic Guyana, which is known for its expertise in industrial IoT and digital twins solutions, and WCGG – an innovator in hydrocarbon accounting and oil and gas data management – are combining their expertise to benefit stakeholders in Guyana’s oil and gas industry.

AnaWorX Inc., which embodies the rich heritages of ‘Ana’ from Guyana and Ghana and integrates the cutting-edge ‘WorX’ from e-Magic’s proprietary TwinWorX® software platform, represents the fusion of advanced technology with profound industry insights. The company will focus on improving natural resource management by using advanced technology and the expertise of e-Magic and WCGG.
In a press statement, it was noted that AnaWorX Inc. is poised to support governments and local industries in Guyana and elsewhere with better oversight, help establish national oil and gas data archives, and employ cutting-edge technologies. This initiative aims to enhance resource management, increase transparency, and build trust within the oil and gas industry.
e-Magic brings over 35 years of technological leadership and its advanced TwinWorX® platform to the partnership. This platform features a cloud-based architecture using Microsoft Azure, ensuring scalable, secure, and efficient solutions for resource management. e-Magic’s commitment to open and scalable systems, along with its experience in sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and infrastructure, positions AnaWorX Inc. to tackle the unique challenges of managing natural resources, especially in developing countries.
Meanwhile, WCGG brings expertise in designing, developing and operating hydrocarbon monitoring systems that allow for accurate hydrocarbon accounting, oil and gas nominations and value chain optimisation, contract management, and oil and gas data management, using advanced technology. Over the years, WCGG’s bespoke technologies and applications have delivered significant value to its diverse customers through revenue assurance, portfolio optimisation and other value chain efficiency-driven tools.
“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with e-Magic,” said the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of West Coast Gas Ghana, Emmanuel Johnson.
He added that “Our shared vision is to leverage our respective strengths to provide oil and gas production monitoring and natural resource management. Together with e-Magic, we will redefine how technology can enhance production processes, minimize risk, and drive sustainable growth.”
On the other hand, the President and CEO of e-Magic, Tony Harris, stated, “We are confident that by combining our TwinWorX digital twins’ platform and deep technical expertise, with West Coast Gas Ghana’s in-depth industry knowledge we will provide a comprehensive monitoring capability that will revolutionize how public and private industry manage oil production and natural resources. Our joint venture aims to set new standards for efficiency, transparency, and sustainability in these vital sectors.”
The launching of this new company stems from a joint venture agreement signed between e-Magic Guyana and West Coast Gas Ghana Limited back in August 2023 in Guyana.
Signed on the sidelines of the Ghana-Guyana Local Content and Capacity Building Conference held last August at the Marriott Hotel in Georgetown, the JV agreement was a realization of a vision laid out in a strategic partnership deal entered into between the two companies in December 2021.
