The EGDS - From Taweelah

Dolphin Energy supplies its UAE customers with refined methane gas from Qatar, which has been transported to its Taweelah Receiving Facilities in Abu Dhabi through the company’s Export Pipeline.

Within the Taweelah area, some of this gas goes direct to neighboring power plants. The majority of the gas is being supplied to other parts of the UAE, using Dolphin’s Eastern Gas Distribution System (EGDS).

The EGDS has been upgraded by Dolphin during 2006 and 2007 as part of a long term lease agreement with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). This involved the refurbishment and recoating of existing pipelines and the addition of fiber optic cables for communications purposes.

Dolphin EGDS pipelines vary between 18 and 48 inches in diameter. Principal pipeline distances involved are Taweelah to Maqta—48 kilometers; Maqta to Jebel Ali—70 kilometers; Maqta to Al Ain—135 kilometers.
