Dolphin Energy Hits Major Production Milestone

Dolphin Energy Limited on Thursday announced a major production milestone of 6 trillion standard cubic feet (scf), since the company started operations in 2007.

The company has been delivering 2 billion scf of natural gas per day to the UAE and Oman since the Dolphin Gas Project achieved full throughput in February 2008. It is meeting 30 percent of the UAE’s energy requirements.

The 6 trillion scf production total was achieved in spite of a challenging year when three new export gas compressors were commissioned at Dolphin Energy’s upstream facilities to support the six compressors that are already in operation, the company said.

Dolphin Gas Project, involves the production and processing of natural gas from Qatar’s North Field, and transportation of the dry gas by sub-sea export pipeline from Qatar to the UAE, which began in July 2007. The long-term customers for Dolphin Energy gas from Qatar are ADWEC (Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Company), DUSUP (Dubai Supply Authority) and OOC (Oman Oil Company). Each has signed a gas supply agreement with Dolphin Energy for 25 years.
