Dolphin Energy has reported zero interruption in supply to customers and about 100% plant availability throughout the year, besides achieving about 23mn man-hours without a lost time incident.
These, along with 52% Emiratisation and 29% Qatarisation levels, were reported by Dolphin Energy, which is involved in the production and processing of natural gas from Qatar’s North Field and transportation of the dry gas by sub-sea export pipeline from Qatar to the UAE, at its 2013 Sustainability Report.
Environmental commitments saw Dolphin register a 20% reduction in flaring, a 4% in total greenhouse gas emissions, a 51% in sulphur dioxide emissions and a 12% in water consumption.
“Last year emphasised the role we played in meeting the requirements of our customers, it highlighted our continued commitment to environmental stewardship and illustrated our commitment to fulfilling a responsibility to supporting the communities in which we operate,” Dolphin Energy’s CEO, Ibrahim Ahmed al-Ansaari said.
Notable achievements for the year saw positive developments in the company’s economic, environmental and societal performance with the successful negotiation of a gas agreement to help meet customer requirements over the summer months.
Community investment contributions crossed the $4mn mark in 2013 and included the inaugural Dolphin Energy Doha Dash, a mass community fun run held to mark Qatar National Sport Day and the first of its kind in the country.
In 2013, the company further incorporated the principles of sustainability into its management system with the development of a sustainability management plan and policy.
“The policy sets out five strategic objectives to focus our approach — we strive to put our people first, operate with excellence, create value, protect the environment and become a better corporate citizen. This will drive our performance in 2014 and in the years ahead,” al-Ansaari said.
