FOLLOWING AN AGENDA FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

AN AUTHENTIC COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

FOLLOWING AN AGENDA FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Despite the ever-shifting landscape of the energy sector, one challenge remains at the forefront of the oil and gas industry, and that is sustainability. To this end, responsible operators embed strategies that mitigate or minimise their impact on the environment, ensure the safety and development of their people, and empower their companies to pivot efficiently in response to external events.

This is certainly the case at Qatargas, where sustainability resides in all areas of our business and in our initiatives with internal and external stakeholders, guiding our investment in projects and programmes.

The Methane Leak and Detection Programme, for example, not only lowered the overall Greenhouse Gas footprint of Qatargas facilities, but also increased the safety of plant personnel and strengthened the core skills of Environmental and Operations employees.

Similarly, through a long-standing collaboration with the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center, Qatargas has been able to drive notable research in areas such as hazardous phenomena and risk assessment, while also supporting process safety education and the development of process safety professionals in Qatar.

Our sustainability roadmap includes too an economic agenda, and in this vein, we continue working with Qatar Petroleum on the North Field Expansion project, which will increase the State of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity from 77 to 126 million tonnes per annum.

In this vein, we are pleased to confirm that Qatargas has been entrusted with the management of a selection programme to secure the project’s chartering of LNG carriers.

Our authentic commitment to sustainability brings with it enormous responsibility. Yet Qatargas has seen the positive impact of adhering to our values, and we will continue to work to advance an environmental, social and economic agenda to benefit future generations.
