Abu Dhabi-based Dolphin Energy on Tuesday announced the completion of a gas pipeline across the United Arab Emirates with a capacity of 1.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
Dolphin has reached the third and last construction milestone on the Taweelah-Fujairah Pipeline (TFP) project with capacity of 1.6 billion standard cubic feet (45 million cubic metres) of natural gas per day, it said.
The 244-kilometre (151-mile) pipeline from Al-Taweelah near Abu Dhabi to the northern emirate of Fujairah aims to "meet the requirements of Dolphin’s largest customer, the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company (ADWEC)."
The pipeline built by Russian firm Stroytransgaz "will deliver essential volumes of natural gas to Fujairah where ADWEC has built two power stations to support industrial growth and development."
Dolphin Energy is owned 51 percent by Abu Dhabi's strategic investment fund Mubadala and 24.5 percent each by France's Total and Occidental Petroleum of the United States.
