Dolphin Energy all set to supply Gas to Oman
Abu Dhabi, 24, 2008 (WAM) - Dolphin Energy Limited confirmed yesterday that it will supply gas to Oman during October 2008, as soon as Oman is ready to receive it.
The Gas Sales Agreement (GSA) to deliver an average of 200 million standard cubic feet of gas a day (mmscf/day) to Oman was signed with the Oman Oil Company (OOC) on September 5 2005, in Abu Dhabi.
It provides for Dolphin gas from Qatar to be delivered through Dolphin's Eastern Gas Distribution System (EGDS), via a hook-up near Al Ain on the UAE-Oman border. The Agreement is valid for a period of 25 years, commencing no later than October 31, 2008.
The gas will arrive in Oman after flowing through Dolphin's Export Pipeline from Qatar, then being monitored on arrival at the company's Receiving Facilities in Taweelah, Abu Dhabi, before its cross country journey via the EGDS.
Dolphin CEO Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh said: 'The GSA was signed in 2005 by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE and Chairman of Dolphin Energy.
'On that occasion, he pointed out how this project would create a true regional gas grid. We look forward to fulfilling our commitment to this great concept, and to our contract, during next month'.
Dolphin's General Manager-UAE, Ibrahim Ahmed Al Ansari, added: 'Our supply, pipeline and monitoring systems are ready to begin supplying gas as soon as Oman's new gas compression systems are tested and on line'.
