The Jetty Boil-off Gas Recovery Project was glamorously inaugurated in a huge tent in the middle of the Qatar desert.
It is a $1bn environmental development implemented to put an end to flaring from the six liquefied natural gas (LNG) berths at Ras Laffan Port.
His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of the State of Qatar, officially inaugurated the Jetty Boil-Off Gas Recovery (JBOG) Project with a multimedia 3D animation show.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Sada, Minister of Energy and Industry, senior government officials, and senior executives from Qatar Petroleum, Qatargas, RasGas and project shareholders.
Within a matter of weeks and under extreme security restrictions, an opening celebration for the gas recycling plant had to be implemented under the banner of environmental protection.
