Gabon hired Poyry Oyj, the Finnish engineering consultant, to conduct an audit of oil companies’ facilities to check their preparedness for spills, said Oil and Petroleum Minister Julien Nkoghe Bekale.

“Gabon has not yet had accidents on the scale of what happened in the Gulf of Mexico,” Bekale told reporters today in Libreville, the capital. “But we must prevent” them, he said.
