Al Ain - Fujairah Pipeline

Dolphin Energy entered the business of gas supply in January 2004, when the company commissioned the natural gas pipeline that connects Al Ain with the UAE East Coast Emirate of Fujairah.
The 24inch, 182km pipeline supplies gas to ADWEC Fujairah’s (formerly known as UWEC – the Union Water & Electricity Company) power and desalination plants in Fujairah.

Initially all the gas being delivered by Dolphin came from Oman, delivered via a tie-in on the UAE-Oman border near Al Ain. Up to 160 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (scf/day) was being supplied by the Oman Gas Company. As a result, refined gas started flowing by land from one GCC nation to another for the very first time.

This Dolphin gas from Oman provided the feedstock for ADWEC’s major 656 MW power plant and 100 million gallons-per-day desalination plant at Qidfa – to the ultimate benefit of hundreds of farmers and scores of inland rural communities.

Dolphin Energy has also been supplying both Ras Al Khaimah Gas and Federal Electricity and Water Authority, each up to 40 million scf/day of this gas, under short term agreements that began in 2005.

Early in 2008 Dolphin natural gas from Qatar reached Fujairah via Dolphin’s Eastern Gas Distribution System (EGDS) linking Taweelah and Maqta with Al Ain – and thereafter via the Al Ain Fujairah Pipeline.
