“Today, RasGas is one of the most successful energy suppliers in the world. Apart from the seven liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains, we oversee and manage two sales gas production facilities, two helium production facilities and the construction of the Barzan Gas Project, which will support Qatar’s rising domestic gas demand,” explained al-Mohannadi.

The CEO also took the opportunity to remind the employees that their future with RasGas was promising and full of opportunities.

“In 2015, our first Barzan Gas Train will come on stream, and when the second Barzan train too is completed, RasGas will be one of the largest gas processors in the world. Work has already begun on developing our Helium 3 and Flow Assurance Projects and we are successfully continuing to expand our market reach through strategic partnerships with customers with a blend of long and short term sales and purchase agreements,” he said.

Among those who received special recognition at the awards ceremony for 20 years of service were Hamad Mubarak al-Muhannadi, chief operations officer and Nasser Mohamed al-Naimi, chief corporate planning and commercial officer, who have been with RasGas since the beginning stages.
