Emissions
DolphinEnergy is committed
to reducing its greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions.
Numerous initiatives have
been launched inpursuit of
this commitment. In 2011,
the companywas successful
in significantly reducing its
flaring, venting, andoverall
GHG. The flare reduction
case study onpage 59
highlightsDolphinEnergy’s
efforts to reduce flaring
emissions and, ultimately,
overall GHG emissions.
As part of its efforts to
monitor the company’s
carbon footprint, Dolphin
Energy follows EUGuidelines
for accounting and reporting
GHG emissions. Additionally,
DolphinEnergy is an active
member of theQatar
PetroleumGlobal Gas Flaring
Reduction Initiative, formed
todevelop and implement
methods to reduce flaring
and venting volumes.
In 2011 the company also
completed implementation
of a LeakDetection and
Repair (LDAR) program.
This programwas launched
in2010but not fully
implemented until 2011. The
program consists of annual
leakmonitoringof process
pumps, compressors, valves
and connectors. Identified
leaking components are
repaired and remonitored.
Estimates of emissions
associatedwith these
components areprepared
and tracked to ensure
that repairs are effective
in reducing emissions
associatedwith leaking
components. The long term
goal of theprogram is to
reduce overall emissions
by reducing the frequency
andmagnitude of leaks in
process equipment.
