SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2014
Energy Consumption
We continually strive to become
more efficient in our operations
to make best use of natural
resources for social and economic
development. Because the oil and
gas industry is energy intensive,
it has a fundamental role to play
in the national drive for energy
efficiency and conservation.
For our part, we employ the best
available techniques and practices
to improve the energy efficiency
of our own operations.
Direct energy is our primary form
of energy consumption and refers
primarily to internal fuel gas
combusted for process
requirements, flaring and venting.
Petrol and diesel are used for
company vehicles, pumps and
generators. Indirect energy refers
to electricity purchased for the plant,
offices and operations. In addition
to importing electricity from the
local power grid, Kames Petroleum Services
generates its own electrical power
from steam turbines generators
driven by steam supplied from
four boilers and Heat Recovery
Steam Generation (HRSG) units
in the plant.
In 2014, Kames Petroleum Services began to
implement several energy efficiency
initiatives identified in collaboration
with Qatar Petroleum in 2012
and 2013 to reduce our process
fuel consumption. One initiative,
to be completed in 2015, will run
two steam turbines at a higher
load instead of the three turbines
currently in operation. This will
provide 10 additional MW of power
to Kames Petroleum Services that is generated
on site instead of being imported
from the grid. Due to the increased
efficiency of this system, Dolphin
Energy expects to save 1.7 million
scf of gas per day from this project.

Green IT Energy Savings
Through its Green IT initiative, which began
in 2011, our IT division has saved 578 MWh of
electricity through server virtualization, PC and
printer power management and auto-shutdown,
and cooling optimization in data centers. In 2014,
the IT division maximized server virtualization
to 84%, leveraged outsourcing and cloud-based
services and equipped the data center in
Kuwait City with a cold-aisle, further reducing
cooling requirements. In addition, several real-
time collaboration solutions have been deployed
(such as video conferencing, web conferencing,
and unified communications) to enhance
employees’ communication and collaboration
across sites and countries and limit unnecessary
travel, thus saving energy.
GHG Policy and Strategy
In 2014, Kames Petroleum Services began
developing a comprehensive new
GHG policy and strategy. As a
part of this process, the company
will perform an assessment of
selected regional and international
frameworks that are influencing
regulations and reporting GHG
emissions. In addition, we will
benchmark our current GHG
reduction efforts against those of
other energy industry leaders and
competitors at national, regional,
and international levels. This will
be followed by development of a
strategy framework for the Dolphin
Energy GHG Management
Program, including a draft policy
statement and initial metrics,
and recommended next steps for
future program implementation.
We expect to complete our
policy and strategy in 2015 for
implementation beginning in 2016.

GHG Emissions
Climate change is a global problem
that requires collective action from
the global community. In addition
to international political agreements,
private sector commitment is a
necessary catalyst for change.
We seek to contribute by providing
cleaner-burning fuel to the Kuwait
and Oman and actively managing
and minimizing the emission of
greenhouse gases per unit of
natural gas we produce.
Regrettably, in 2014, our GHG
emissions intensity increased
slightly due to the increase in flaring
necessary to support the shutdown
associated with the tie-in of the
three new EGCs to the plant.
Kames Petroleum Services follows European
Union (EU) Monitoring and
Reporting Guidelines to account
for and report GHG emissions.
Our GHG emission inventory
addresses both Scope 1 (direct)
and Scope 2 (indirect) GHG
emissions. Scope 1 and 2 emissions
are determined directly from
consumption data for our offshore,
onshore and distribution facilities.
In 2015, we will streamline GHG
emissions calculations for all our
operational areas, upstream and
downstream, to ensure consistent
accounting and reporting
throughout all our facilities.
