Dolphin Energy reduces total energy consumption by 1.7% year-on-year in 2022

Dolphin Energy reduced total energy consumption by 1.7% last year compared to 2021, according to a company report.

In its 14th sustainability report Dolphin Energy said its energy management system guides efforts to drive down direct and indirect energy consumption across its operations.

“In 2022, we reduced total energy consumption by 1.7% compared to 2021, with most of our consumption in upstream operations. We increased electricity generated at our own plant upstream, thus reducing the requirement to import from the grid,” Dolphin Energy noted.

Dolphin Energy’s major strategic initiative, the Dolphin Gas Project, involves the production and processing of natural gas from Qatar’s North Field, and transportation of the dry gas by sub-sea export pipeline from Qatar to the UAE, which began in July 2007.

Since 2016, Dolphin Energy has implemented several initiatives designed to optimise its energy use, save costs, and reduce GHG emissions.

These include replacing super heater coils and evaporators on the Stream 1 Sulfur Recovery Unit (with Stream 2 to be completed this year), eliminating the use of the de-methaniser steam reboiler on Trains 1, 2 and 3, with Train 4 being completed in 2023, replacing upstream plant and administration building lighting with LED lights, installing occupancy sensors for automatic controls,
