BeingResponsible
forOur Products
Spills andgas releases are an
environmental burden, financial cost
and reputational liability. Our equipment,
policies and training aim toprevent
any unplanned release of solidor liquid
material to landorwater.Wehad two loss-
of-containment incidents in2013–neither
resulted ina release to theenvironment.
DolphinEnergy’s commitment to
process safety (Chapter 2) is central
toour efforts toprevent our products
from causing any harm topeople or the
environment. Our EmergencyPipeline
Repair System (EPRS) will also enable
our rapid response in the event of
accidental damage to the export
pipeline, or to either of the sea lines
transporting rawgas fromDolphin
Energy’s productionplatforms to its
gas processingplant at Ras Laffan.
A separateEPRSproject is also
underwaywhichwill facilitate emergency
repair of theKuwaitgas network. Together
the twoEPRSprojectswill ensure
reliability of DolphinEnergy’s supply
of natural gas to theKuwait andOman.
ManagingOurWaste
Wasteminimizationprovidesopportunities
to reduce costs and improve efficiencies.
We therefore seek tominimize resource
use and reduce the volume and
hazardous nature of wasteby applying
thewaste hierarchy.
In 2013, DolphinEnergy continued to
implement its recyclingprogram, now
in its fourth year. TheGreen IT initiative
enhanced its commitment to recycling
by optimizing IT refresh cycles and
incorporating IT equipment disposal and
recycling into all ‘call off’ contracts.
In2014, the ITdepartmentwillmonitor the
ITequipment lifecycle fromprocurement
tocomplete recycling throughan ITasset
trackingprocess and solution.
DolphinEnergy ensures that all waste
is disposedof in an environmentally
responsiblemanner, in accordancewith
local laws and industry standards. Local
municipalities deposit DolphinEnergy’s
domesticwaste in approved landfills,
whereas non-hazardouswaste is
disposed at RLICwastemanagement
facility. Hazardouswaste, which includes
liquidwaste oil and solidwaste such
as spent activated carbon, expired
chemicals, process sludge, andprocess
filters generated inUpstream facilities,
is either recycled (as is the case for
liquidoil) or stored in temporary
hazardouswaste storage facilities for
disposal at authorized locations.
