Qatargas conducted a major emergency response exercise in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior, Qatar Petroleum, and various shareholders. The exercise involved a simulated fire and a coordinated response from professional teams at a hydrocarbon storage tank in Ras Laffan Industrial City.

"We have been deliberate in our planning to include all necessary statewide resources to ensure readiness to respond to an incident that requires fully integrated, large-scale support to any industrial asset within the State of Qatar,” said Hamad Al-Duhaimi, Civil Defense Operations Director, Ministry of the Interior. “This training was a great opportunity for all responding organizations, and was a good test of our ability to operate under a unified command structure. It gave us the opportunity to enhance our overall ability to succeed in future deployments, particularly with respect to communications and pooling of resources."

The exercise included the deployment of response equipment, tested logistics, and validated command and control capability including the integration of all response organizations.
