CARACAS, Venezuela, September 1, 2026/APO Group/ –Integrated energy solutions company Lindsayca has been confirmed as a Diamond+ Sponsor of Venezuela Energy Week, taking place February 22–25, 2027 in Caracas. The sponsorship strengthens Lindsayca’s engagement with Venezuela’s emerging oil and gas investment cycle while providing a platform to showcase the company’s EPC expertise and energy infrastructure capabilities.

 




 

As Venezuela works to restore production and expand activity across its oil and gas sector, infrastructure will be central to converting investment into additional capacity. The country holds the world’s largest proven crude oil reserves, estimated at more than 300 billion barrels, alongside substantial natural gas resources, creating opportunities across upstream development, gas processing, power and associated infrastructure.

Lindsayca brings a longstanding track record in Venezuela, including the delivery of the 450 MMscfd Cardón IV gas processing plant for Eni and Repsol. The project involved five million man-hours and demonstrates Lindsayca’s experience executing large-scale gas infrastructure in the Venezuelan market.

That experience comes as the Eni-Repsol joint venture advances plans to increase production from the Cardón IV field to 645 MMscfd from approximately 580 MMscfd currently. The expansion is expected to involve additional drilling and infrastructure improvements, highlighting the scale of technical and infrastructure requirements accompanying Venezuela’s next phase of gas development.

With an established base in El Tigre, Anzoátegui, Lindsayca combines local market experience with a broad regional track record spanning gas processing, compression, oil treatment and power infrastructure. The company has successfully completed more than 140 EPC projects across the Americas and operated in more than a dozen countries, including major projects such as Guyana’s 300-MW natural gas and natural gas liquids facility and the Manzanillo thermal power project in the Dominican Republic. This combination of Venezuelan experience, regional scale and technical capabilities positions Lindsayca to support the development of new oil and gas infrastructure across the country’s value chain.

As Venezuela’s production recovery draws renewed interest from international operators, investors and service companies, demand is growing for the infrastructure, equipment and technical expertise needed to advance new projects. As a Diamond+ Sponsor of Venezuela Energy Week 2027, Lindsayca will engage with government officials, energy companies, investors and financial partners on opportunities across the upstream, midstream, downstream and power sectors, while showcasing its Venezuelan project experience and regional capabilities.

Supporting Venezuela’s Earthquake Recovery

Our thoughts are with the people and communities affected by the recent earthquakes in Venezuela. As the country begins the long process of recovery, we encourage members of the global energy community to support relief and reconstruction efforts through the CAF Recovery and Reconstruction Fund for Venezuela, which channels contributions from individuals, companies and organizations to emergency assistance, essential services and long-term rebuilding efforts.

HARARE, Zimbabwe, September 1, 2026/APO Group/ –Rockwell Automation (www.RockwellAutomation.com), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced a new collaboration with Mimosa Mine and Mine Elect to support the mine’s ongoing modernization program in Zimbabwe.
 




 

Mimosa Mine, a platinum‑group metals (PGM) and base metals operation located in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe, is undertaking a multi‑year digital migration initiative aimed at modernizing its operations and improving the resilience of its industrial infrastructure. As part of this journey, the mine recently upgraded its operational technology (OT) network and sought support for secure connectivity, cybersecurity (https://apo-opa.co/3UxzrqS) risk management and long‑term digital sustainability.

Through the project, Mimosa Mine is expected to benefit from improved visibility across its operational networks, stronger safeguards for critical systems and a more resilient digital foundation to support reliable and efficient mining operations over time. The scope of work focused on strengthening network architecture, improving security segmentation and establishing more secure mechanisms for system access, data transfer, monitoring and recovery.

“This project reflects a growing focus across the mining sector on operational resilience and cyber risk management as digital technologies become more deeply embedded in day‑to‑day operations,” said Rodrick Naidoo, country director for English‑speaking Africa at Rockwell Automation. “By working closely with Mimosa Mine and our local partner, we were able to align technology, governance and skills to support the mine’s broader modernization objectives while addressing the realities of an operational mining environment.”

A key element of the collaboration is Rockwell Automation’s long‑standing partnership with Mine Elect, a Zimbabwe‑based Rockwell Automation specialty distributor with deep experience supporting the mining and industrial sectors locally. Mine Elect provided local engineering, implementation and onsite support, helping to connect global capabilities with in‑country execution.

“We embarked on this digital transformation journey more than three years ago with the upgrade of key OT infrastructure, which included the migration of Mimosa’s legacy OT networks to Ethernet/IP,” said Dr. Blessing Mahomva, managing director of Mine Elect (https://apo-opa.co/4xstXfB). “Our role during this critical phase was to ensure the project was delivered in a way that was practical, sustainable and aligned with Mimosa’s operational priorities. This collaboration brought together global industrial expertise and local knowledge to support a mining operation that is actively investing in its digital future.”

Delivering industrial digital and cybersecurity initiatives in mining environments (https://apo-opa.co/4yj6KwF) presents unique challenges. Mining operations combine legacy systems, harsh physical conditions, safety critical processes and limited downtime windows, all which place constraints on how modern technologies can be deployed. In addition, the growing convergence of operational technology and information systems increases exposure to cyber risk, requiring careful design, sequencing and validation to avoid operational disruption.

“This project supports our broader digital migration journey by strengthening the resilience and security of our operational systems,” said Lloyd Shamu, head of technical services at Mimosa Mining Company (https://apo-opa.co/4zQv3n5). “Having partners who understand mining operations, the local context and the importance of secure, reliable infrastructure has been critical as we continue to modernize the way we operate.”

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, September 1, 2026/APO Group/ —South Africa is stepping up efforts to attract investment into its mining sector, with President Cyril Ramaphosa launching Phase 3 of the Government-Business Partnership, a public-private initiative designed to accelerate economic growth, investment and job creation. Mining has been identified as a key pillar of the new phase, alongside energy, transport and logistics, tourism, infrastructure and agriculture.
 




 

The initiative targets GDP growth of more than 3% and the creation of one million additional jobs by 2030, with the mining sector positioned to play a central role in achieving those objectives.
