The Corporate Environmental Affairs (MSE/2) aspire not only to ensure that PDO operate in an environmentally responsible fashion but also to contribute to the vision of PDO to be best E&P company in its class. PDO thus was the first major E & P company to get ISO 14001 certification in December 1999.

Currently, PDO is leading other operating units in Sustainable Development Initiatives. We take pride in being able to be at the forefront of these initiatives. The Environmental Affairs group is involved in the following areas:

Sustainable Development
Environmental Performance Monitoring
ISO 14001
All permit applications and other contacts with the Government
Associated Gas Management Plan
Produced Water Management Plan
Environmental Impact Assessments
Environmental Campaigns
Abandonment & Restoration
Chemicals Management
Waste Management
Relationship with the University
Mentoring Students
Anything new, interesting and green

As can be seen, the mandate is quite heavy and varied, which means there is not even one dull moment in our life. So the next time, if you try to call one of us and we are never "available", don't be too upset. We are either in the ministry chasing a permit or in Marmul looking at a spill or just sitting by the telephone but busy thinking about the next campaign. Walk into our office (Al-Tayf Complex MSE/2 Corner) and we are always around to help you out.
