Dolphin Energy officials lead the ceremonial cutting of a cake to celebrate the company’s latest achievements.
Dolphin Energy has set new milestones in safety requirements and environmental standards after reaching 40mn man-hours without any lost time injury from February 2009 to December 2013, a company official announced yesterday.
The company’s upstream and projects division has registered a 352% reduction in the lost time incident rate, an inventory of incidents on lost time due to injury or illness per million hours worked since operations began, said Dolphin Energy general manager Adel Ahmed al-Buainain.
He also said Dolphin Energy was able to maintain its compliance record on environmental regulations and requirements “and achieved a flaring rate lower than the target set by Qatar’s Ministry of Environment”.
“We continue to implement best-in-class HSE (health, safety and environment) management systems and operational safety practices, and reaching these milestones is a great achievement for the organisation,” he added.
Al-Buainain said Dolphin Energy reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 13% from 2010 to 2013. In the same period, it also registered a 44% reduction in flaring due to initiatives like the installation of infrared cameras, which has helped improve the accuracy of flare flame monitoring.
“We have a robust safety culture and an unstinting commitment to minimising the environmental impacts as observed and practised by our employees and contractors at all times,” said al-Buainain, who congratulated the employees and contractors involved in the recent achievements.
He stressed that “achieving excellence across health, safety and the environment is a key operational objective for Dolphin Energy. The company has developed a set of key performance indicators to measure the continuous effort to safeguard people, minimise any impacts on the environment as well as the protection of its assets”.
Al-Buainain noted that the company created safety passports for employees at Dolphin Energy’s gas processing plant in Ras Laffan as part of a campaign to encourage all employees to “stop and think” before working.
