Energy & Environment Holding and CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. Announce Joint Venture
Energy & Environment Holding (EEH), an independent consulting firm specializing in energy, environment, privatization, and sustainable development based in Doha, Qatar, and CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. (CSA), a firm specializing in services related to environmental impacts from offshore oil and gas and construction activities worldwide, have announced the formation of their new joint venture CSA Ocean Sciences (Doha) LLC. The board of directors for the joint venture is chaired by HE Sheikh Jabor bin Yusef bin Jassim al-Thani, principal holder of EEH, and includes members Roudi Baroudi, Chief Executive Officer of EEH and Robert Mulcahy, Chief Operating Officer of CSA.
The new relationship combines the core capabilities of CSA and EEH to provide a comprehensive suite of environmental services in the Gulf region, including environmental impact assessments, risk assessments for offshore oil and gas activities, support for large marine infrastructure projects, biological impact assessments, and regulatory compliance permitting and monitoring.
EEH is a Doha-based strategic advisory consultancy that provides studies and market analyses related to environmental policies and programs with a focus on sustainable energy projects, environmental programs, deregulation, privatization, security and other issues related to energy projects in both the Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean. Since 2007, EEH has positioned itself to be a leader in energy and environmental affairs in the Gulf region while supporting numerous efforts to promote business growth within Qatar.
CSA has successfully conducted over 45 environmental programs off the coast of Qatar since 1994 with verified long-term results, including oil and gas environmental compliance projects and mitigation programs using methodologies approved by the Qatari Ministry of Environment. Notably, CSA was contracted to conduct a Benthic Ecological Survey and develop a Coral Management, Relocation, and Monitoring Plan (CoMRMP) for the Barzan Project. Subsequently, CSA modified the CoMRMP in 2014 to address the needs of the Flow Assurance Project off Ras Laffan City, Qatar. Currently, CSA is monitoring corals, benthic colonization, fish assemblages, coral recruitment, water quality parameters, and urchin populations at both the Barzan and FAP site.
Mr. Baroudi of EEH stated, “We look forward to joining forces with CSA to build the leading environmental services firm in the GCC region. EEH is dedicated to quality and sustainability of the natural environment, which will only be reinforced with the assistance of CSA.”
“CSA is pleased to have EEH as a partner,” added Mr. Mulcahy. “We are very excited to be able to provide not only CSA’s core service offerings, but to also expand our services and capabilities in concert with EEH. EEH’s focus on sustainable energy development supports the Qatar National Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to provide a balance between sustainable development and the protection of Qatar’s unique and diverse natural environment. We are proud to be working with an organization such as EEH and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.
