“…This result is consistent with the finding of Shvarts et al (2016), who found that only 3 out of 19 OGCs in Russia report on oil spill contingency plans. Spilling oil and any fluids into the environment during the operational transport of oil and gas causes environmental pollution and affects sensitive ecosystems and people's livelihoods (Pereira and Mudge 2004;Orbell et al, 2007). Thus, OGCs must be vigilant to prevent spills and report on the quantity of oil or any other fluid spilled into the environment, as well as the impact and response action for that spill.…”

The purpose of this article is to assess the quality of the sustainability reporting indicators used by oil and gas companies (OGCs) in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This study utilizes the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA) guidance as a new robust methodology to assess the quality of sustainability reporting, which is considered a comprehensive benchmark that directly relates to the oil and gas sector. This study conducts a content analysis of the sustainability reports published by OGCs in GCC countries for the 2016–2018 period. The results reveal that the quality of the sustainability indicators disclosed by companies is largely unsuitable. The results also show that companies fail to report detailed information on environmental indicators as the most important category for OGCs. The findings demonstrate that most OGCs in Qatar pay more attention to sustainable reporting indicators than the OGCs in other GCC countries. This study successfully addresses many previously outstanding issues regarding the quality of the sustainability reporting indicators used by OGCs in GCC countries. Hence, the findings paint a clear picture of the situation so that regulators, policymakers, and managers can correct the existing shortcomings in the quality of sustainability reporting and promote sustainability reporting guidance best practices.

SynopsisA mathematical model is developed and implemented to characterize the pick-up of various liquid chemical contaminants by polyethylene-coated magnetic particles. The model and its associated experimental and analytical protocols were applied to a wide range of liquid chemicals in order to gain insights into the physical basis for the pickup phenomenon. The characteristics of the pick-up isotherms range between "ideal" and "non-ideal" behavior that are reflected in the mathematical model by a single parameter, α 0 , where α 0 = 1 corresponds to ideal behavior and α 0 > 1 corresponds to a departure from idealized behavior that is directly quantified by the magnitude of α 0 .The parameter α 0 is also related to the efficiency of pick-up and since the vast majority of isotherms observed in the study deviate from ideality, the high efficiency of pick-up observed in these systems has been attributed in part to this deviation. The proposed model and its associated experimental and analytical protocols demonstrate great potential for the systematic evaluation of the uptake of chemical contaminants using magnetic particle technology.
