Dolphin Energy Awards Two EPC Contracts For Eastern Gas Distribution System
Consolidated Contractors Company and Punj Lloyd Ltd Are Successful Bidders
Dolphin Energy Limited today approved the award of the two EPC Contracts for its forthcoming Eastern Gas Distribution System (EGDS) in the United Arab Emirates.
The first award for the East & West Facilities EPC Works went to Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), which covers engineering, procurement and construction of civil, pipelines, mechanical, SCADA, telecommunication and electrical works with respect to expanding, modifying and upgrading the existing Eastern Gas Distribution System; and construction of the new Dolphin Operations/Administration Building and expanding the Control Building at Al Ain Gas Terminal. Punj Lloyd Ltd was awarded the Civil and Fiber Optics Cable EPC Works with respect to the existing Eastern Gas Distribution System.
When the construction of the Dolphin Gas Project is completed at the end of the current year, substantial quantities of natural gas will flow from Qatar to the UAE. The upgrade of the existing EGDS will enable Dolphin to deliver its gas to its customers in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the Northern Emirates during 2007 and subsequently Oman in 2008.
Dolphin Energy Limited
Dolphin Energy Limited was created to develop substantial energy projects throughout the GCC. Its objective is to create long-term economic wealth and new business opportunities for GCC citizens, far into the future. Dolphin Energy’s major strategic initiative, the Dolphin Project, involves the production and processing of natural gas from Qatar’s North Field, and transportation of the dry gas by sub-sea pipeline across joint UAE-Qatari waters to the UAE, beginning in 2006.
Dolphin Energy’s first initiative, the Al Ain to Fujairah Pipeline, came on stream in January 2004.The pipeline supplies the Fujairah Water and Power Plant on the UAE’s East Coast – initially with natural gas from Oman, and subsequently with Dolphin gas from Qatar. In May 2005, Dolphin began to supply natural gas to the UAE Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. The gas is being delivered via a tie-in near Qidfa between Dolphin’s Al Ain - Fujairah pipeline and the existing Emarat gas pipeline network.
Dolphin Energy is owned 51 percent by Mubadala Development Company, on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi – and 24.5 percent each by Total of France and Occidental Petroleum of the USA.
