Dolphin Energy completes UAE pipeline
Oil and Gas News, 06.12.2010
After three years planning, construction and charting a pipeline route through some of the most arduous desert and mountain terrain, Dolphin Energy announced that it has finished building the Taweelah-Fujairah Pipeline (TFP).
With this, sufficient capacity is now available - 1.6 billion standard cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas per day - to meet the requirements of Dolphin’s largest customer, the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company (Adwec).
Built by Stroytransgaz (STG), the 244 km TFP will deliver essential volume of natural gas to Fujairah where Adwec has built two power stations to support industrial growth and development. Commenting on the completion of the pipeline, Dolphin CEO Ahmad Ali Al Sayegh said: "The completion demonstrates the strength of our company on so many levels and our ability to deliver a fast track project to meet a commitment to our customer on time. Outlining the importance of TFP, Ebrahim Ahmad Al Ansari, general manager, Dolphin Energy, UAE said: "The completion of the third milestone reinforces our vision to be a leading and reliable supplier of energy in a socially responsible manner and strengthens our commitment to provide natural gas to all seven emirates of the UAE."
Dolphin also worked closely with IPIC to accommodate their oil pipeline and share a right of way through Fujairah’s mountains as part of an agreed construction sequence.
Adel Ahmad Albuainain, general manager, Dolphin Energy, Qatar added: "If ever you needed an example to illustrate the power of positive energy then surely this is it."
