We have been proactive in embracing this commitment and have created policies, programmes and initiatives such as the Annual HSE Contractors Meeting that have helped to develop safety standards for the local and regional oil and gas sector. “Winning this award could not have been possible without a lot of hard work and dedication from every single employee at Dolphin Energy along with our partners and contractors. I would like to congratulate them all.” The award recognises Dolphin Energy as a leading operating company in the Qatar Oil and Gas industry that was able to successfully demonstrate sustainable performance and innovation across a range of evaluation criteria – performance enhancement, transferability, reputation and innovation.
