PDO signs waste management contract
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has signed a waste management contract with Oman
Environmental Services Holding Company (be’ah) with a value of around RO17 million and incorporating a number of green initiatives.
The seven-year contract will see be’ah managing non-hazardous waste and waste yards in PDO’s concession area. It will provide service containers with different capacities to separate organic, plastic, paper and other waste at source, in addition to providing regular maintenance and cleaning of the containers. The agreement will also reduce the amount of waste transferred to the engineered landfill sites for final disposal.
Quantities of organic waste will be converted into fertiliser while other types, such as
construction waste, will be used to clean up and close landfill sites in the concession area.
be’ah will also operate and maintain waste collection sites in designated areas, and clean them of all types of accumulated waste.
The contract was signed by PDO Managing Director Raoul Restucci and be’ah Chief Executive Officer, Engineer Tariq bin Ali Al Amri at a special ceremony held in PDO’s Knowledge World venue in Muscat.
Restucci said, “We have made a determined effort to reduce our environmental footprint
while boosting In-Country Value and this contract is another step in the right direction. Last
year, we recycled more than 1,600 tonnes of non-hazardous waste including wood, plastic, metal and cartons and we look forward to further expanding this programme as indeed our partnership with Be’ah.”
On the collaboration between the two companies, Engineer Al Amri stated: “This pact enhances further co-operation between the two companies in the field of environmental sustainability and conservation. It supports the environmental strategies that PDO has been following throughout the years.
“Integrated efforts between institutions ensure efficient implementation of strategic goals, which will certainly drive our country’s economic development. This agreement is a first step towards a more detailed plan to recover economic value from waste by recycling it or converting it to energy.”
