TP Europe and Dome Group have teamed up in the United Arab Emirates since 2016, marking a significant stride towards environmental improvement in the oil and gas industry. This collaboration brings together TP’s technical expertise with Dome’s strong regional presence, focusing on transferring knowledge and technology throughout the local and regional markets. The goal of this alliance has been to provide advanced leak detection and repair (LDAR) services, in line with the latest OGMP regulations, to improve environmental compliance.
More than a business venture, this partnership represents a shared commitment to making a significant, positive environmental impact. Through an interview with Khaled Daair, Deputy Managing Director of Dome Group, and Edwin Stiegelis, CEO of TP, it’s evident that both organizations are driven by a mutual dedication to contribute to the industry’s sustainability efforts in the UAE.
The partnership was sparked by the pressing need for decarbonization strategies within the operations of a major oil and gas player in Abu Dhabi. Dome Group, with its rich expertise and deep roots in the local market, joined forces with TP Europe in 2016 to bring advanced Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) services and technical knowledge to the region. “Our main objective was to transfer knowledge and technology to support our clients with their LDAR requirements, aligning with the latest OGMP regulations,” Khaled Daair explains. This vision quickly translated into action, with TP Europe becoming an approved consultant and technology provider, marking the beginning of a series of seminars, presentations, and ultimately, significant service contracts.

Dome Group’s mastery of the UAE’s oil and gas landscape complements TP’s specialized LDAR services, creating a powerful alliance. Dome’s longstanding focus on environmental issues and its strong In Country Value (ICV) score has been instrumental in opening doors to major opportunities in the region, while TP Europe brings cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to the table. This synergy has not only enhanced TP’s service offerings but has also solidified the partnership’s position as a key player in the UAE’s sustainability journey.
The collaboration has already seen success in projects aimed at minimising the environmental impact of carbon dioxide and other emissions in the oil and gas sector. By working closely with operators, TP Europe and Dome Group are making strides towards reducing the industry’s carbon footprint, contributing to the global fight against climate change. Regular bi-weekly management meetings and a unified team approach ensure seamless communication and effective collaboration in day-to-day operations.
Edwin Stiegelis, CEO of TP, reflects on the partnership: “Working with Dome Group has been a remarkable journey. Their outstanding knowledge and influence in the local market have been invaluable to us. We’re proud and honoured to collaborate with such a dedicated and expert team. Together, we’re not just growing our business; we’re making a significant environmental impact.”

Looking ahead, the partnership is set on executing major projects in Abu Dhabi, and to expand into new geographies, including Oman. The shared commitment to environmental sustainability and the ambitious goal of the UAE government to reach Net Zero by 2050 drive TP Europe and Dome Group forward. This alliance is more than a business venture; it’s a partnership for the planet, working hand in hand to tackle today’s environmental challenges and pave the way for a sustainable future in the UAE and beyond.
The partnership exemplifies how collaboration and shared vision can lead to substantial progress in environmental stewardship within the oil and gas industry. By combining technical expertise, local knowledge, and a commitment to sustainability, this alliance is not only contributing to the UAE’s environmental goals but also setting a benchmark for industry-wide practices.
Together, TP Europe and Dome Group are demonstrating that through collaboration, innovation, and dedication, creating a sustainable future is not just a possibility but a reality.
