timothy Harding,
Qatar Petroleum,
Acting Manager HSE Technical & Supervision, HSE Regulations &
Enforcement Directorate
Tim Harding has been seconded to the HSE Directorate Regulations & Enforcement from ConocoPhillips and currently assumes the role as Acting Manager Technical and Supervision. He has worked for ConocoPhillips for over 31 years after joining Phillips Petroleum (pre merger of Conoco and Phillips) in London, UK in 1978 straight from Exeter University after graduating with an Honours degree in Chemical Engineering. He has held petroleum, production, drilling, process and operations engineering positions and moved up to Engineering Management in the Southern North Sea which included topsides and subsea. As a result of the Safety Case regime that came into force in the UK he was tasked with coordinating the preparation and acceptance of 3 safety cases for the offshore operations and one safety report for the onshore gas terminal (under COMAH/CIMAH regulations). ConocoPhillips were supplying about +10% of the UK gas demand at this time through these facilities. This was the start of his transition to HSE as at that time, engineering also had to develop environmental operating conditions for the onshore terminal. He was later assigned to HSE Manager for the southern North Sea operations to ensure the implementation of the HSE Management System, Safety Case/ Report compliance and environmental compliance. He was the prime communication point with the regulators, both the HSE and Environmental Agency of the UK. From the UK, Tim moved to Venezuela in South America on a major heavy oil project as HSE Manager on the oil upgrader (taking 8⁰ API crude up to 24⁰ API) construction project. From there he moved to Nigeria to work on a major LNG project and developed the HSE Management System and the main Environmental & Social Impact Assessment including Sustainable Development program implementation. Tim now finds himself in this great opportunity on the other side of the fence as a HSE regulator of the whole of the energy and industry sector of the State of Qatar, particularly the petroleum industry. This assignment affords Tim the rare opportunity to provide the technical management of the HSE regulation and enforcement process that
the Directorate are developing and in the throws of implementing this year and beyond. The prime function of the HSE Directorate is to assure the industry is regulated and risks are controlled, under the provisions of Decree-Law No. 4 of 1977 and implementation of Law No. 8 of 2004, Environmental Protection Law promulgated by Decree-Law No. 30 of 2002, and Decision No. (5) of 2005.
