Doha: The 14th edition of the Qatar Process Safety Symposium (QPSS), co-sponsored by QatarEnergy LNG and ConocoPhillips Qatar in collaboration with University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST), successfully concluded recently, gathering hundreds of in-person attendees and many more via live streaming.

QPSS remains a key fixture in the global energy calendar, uniting industry leaders to discuss the future of process safety. This year’s event reinforced the importance of personalising process safety, ensuring that the wellbeing of individuals is prioritised across energy operations.

In his opening remarks, Khalid bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chief Executive Officer of QatarEnergy LNG, stated: “This year we gather under the theme ‘Making Process Safety Personal’. Process safety is not just a set of protocols or guidelines but a shared responsibility that begins with each one of us. I encourage each of you to reflect on your own experience and the role you play in ensuring a safe workplace.” 

He reaffirmed QatarEnergy LNG’s commitment to continuously improving safety standards through the company’s direction statement, daily operations, and long-term strategies. “Each story, each lessons learned and each commitment to process safety contributes to a collective effort that makes a profound impact on our industry,” he added.

The event also saw Bill Arnold, President of ConocoPhillips Qatar, deliver a keynote address. He discussed the critical role of leadership in driving process safety and highlighted the strength of ConocoPhillips Qatar’s partnership with QatarEnergy LNG in advancing safety initiatives.
