WasteManagement
Weare committed tominimizing the
amount ofwastegenerated through
our operationsby reducing, reusing,
and recycling. Byminimizingwaste,
wearealsoable to cut costs and
improveefficiency.
DolphinEnergyensures that
allwaste isdisposedof inan
environmentally responsiblemanner,
inaccordancewith local laws and
industry standards. Domesticwaste
isdisposed inapproved landfills,
whereasnon-hazardous industrial
waste isdisposedat theRLICwaste
management facility. Hazardous
waste,which includes liquidwaste
oil and solidwaste suchas spent
activated carbon, expired chemicals,
process sludge, andprocessfilters
generated inupstream facilities,
is stored ina temporaryhazardous
waste storageareawithinour plant
for disposal at authorized locations.
We recycle several industrialwaste
streams suchas emptydrums, scrap
metal,wood,wasteoil, gas cylinders
and contaminated soil.
We continue to implement our office
recyclingprogram (coveringpaper,
cardboard, plasticbottles, cans and
electronicwaste) now in its
sixthyear, running campaigns
to remindemployeesandcleaners
of the importanceof recycling
and theprocess for segregation
of office recyclables.
In2015, bothour hazardous and
non-hazardouswaste increasedby
43%and39% respectively,mainly
due to thenatureof our upstream
shutdownactivities.

IndustrialWaterManagement Project
DolphinEnergy initiated the Industrial
WaterManagement Project (IWMP)
with theaimof reducing thequantity
ofwastewater being re-injected
intodeepwells (50% reduction),
maximizing the internal reuseof
wastewater (both for irrigationand
asdesalinatedwater), and reducing
thequantityof desalinatedwater
purchased fromutilitycompanies.
Through the IWMP, producedwater
will alsobe treatedusing innovative
evaporation technology to remove
thechemical KineticHydrate Inhibitor
(KHI) from thewastewater injected
asperQatar Petroleum (QP)
requirements. DolphinEnergywill be
thefirst companyonaglobal scale
to implement the technology for this
specificpurpose.
In2015,weawarded thecontract
for themanufactureand supply
of theevaporator, aswell as for
theproject’s Engineering,
Procurement andConstruction
(EPC).Weexpect completion
of the IWMPProject in2017.
