Dolphin Energy Successful Loading of the First Cargo of Condensate

Abu Dhabi - August 12, 2007

Dolphin Energy Limited announced today the successful loading of the first cargo of condensate, produced from its natural gas Processing Plant at Ras Laffan, Qatar.  The commencement of efficient loading operations from the new export facilities and designated tanks follows the successful start-up of gas production from Qatar’s North Field in June 2007.

The initial cargo consists of 500,000 barrels of condensate and two additional cargoes will follow later in August 2007.   About six similar sized cargoes of condensate are expected to be exported every month once full production is reached.

Dolphin Energy Limited was created to develop substantial energy projects throughout the GCC and 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 export pipeline from Qatar to the UAE, which begun in July 2007.
