Nationalizationat DolphinEnergy
DolphinEnergy supports
the value of developing its
national residents’ capacity,
skills, and expertise. The
company is dedicated
to engagingwith young
talent, both internally and

within theUAE andQatar,
to improve their skills,
professional capacity, and
ultimately their contributions.
Accordingly, DolphinEnergy’s

Energy’sdedication to
enhancingnationalization

strong relationshipswith local
universities andeducational
institutions, extensive training
anddevelopment of national
employees, and resulting in
increases in thecompany’s
nationalization rates.
