  • Development of the Energy Sector in the State of Qatar 1995-2010.Pdf
    2 HIS HIGHNESS HIS HIGHNESS SHEIKH HAMAD BIN KHALIFA AL-THANI SHEIKH TAMIM BIN HAMAD AL-THANI Emir of the State of Qatar The Heir Apparent 3 “It is significant that the stages which appear to be modest, are part of a long term comprehensive plan comprising goals less modest and more ambitious. And it’s enough to compare 1995 with 2010 to know where Qatar was and where it is now. Our people will see how Qatar will be after implementing our plans for 2030”. His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Emir of the State of Qatar 4 Introduction Since 1995, His Highness the Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani took upon himself the immense responsibility to establish the modern State of Qatar. He carried out this enormous task with the help of Allah’s blessing on Qatar with its natural resources, mainly in natural gas and oil, and he rallied the country’s establishments and its patriotic citizens to achieve his vision. Thus, the energy and industry sector as well as its related industries became the field of challenge and ambition, and so Qatar became a pioneer among the main international leaders in this field. This book chronicles the rapid developments and major achievements in Qatar’s oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries from 1995 to 2010. This period had been marked with headlines of sustainable development and was replete with many challenges. The priorities during this period included creating the ideal mechanism in managing the available oil and gas resources, introducing appropriate strategic plans for developing the country’s energy industry, and optimizing investments in manufacturing and mining.

  • RASGAS CREATES HEART SAFE WORKPLACE with PHYSIO-CONTROL Aeds Global Energy Supplier Deploys Lifesaving Devices As Part of Safety Initiative
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RASGAS CREATES HEART SAFE WORKPLACE WITH PHYSIO-CONTROL AEDs Global Energy Supplier Deploys Lifesaving Devices as Part of Safety Initiative DOHA, Qatar and REDMOND, Wash. – August 22, 2012 – Physio-Control, Inc., a provider of emergency medical response solutions worldwide, today announced that global energy supplier, RasGas Company Limited (RasGas), has established a heart safe workplace with the installation of LIFEPAK CR® Plus automated external defibrillators (AEDs). RasGas is deploying the AEDs as part of a broader safety initiative to help ensure that an employee or visitor experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has immediate treatment with bystander cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a defibrillation shock from an AED readily available. “We see the implementation of this new program as a key component to our ‘People First’ culture and overall workplace safety initiatives,” said Dr. Nigel Shanks, Medical Services manager at RasGas. “We want to ensure that treatment with CPR and defibrillation is readily available in all our facilities to anyone who may need it.” “With RasGas employees at facilities ranging from wellheads and processing centers in the field, to offices across the globe, implementing an AED program is an important investment in its people,” said Cam Pollock, Physio-Control vice president, Global Marketing. “RasGas’ widespread deployment of the devices builds upon the company’s strong safety reputation.” SCA is a leading cause of death, taking the lives of approximately one million people worldwide annually. Although not everyone can be saved, CPR and early defibrillation can dramatically improve SCA survival. Time from collapse to treatment is critical because every minute defibrillation is delayed, survival rates decrease an estimated seven to 10 percent.
