Abu Dhabi - January 14, 2008

Abu Dhabi, UAE, January 20, 2008 - Dolphin Energy Limited has issued the following statement, further to the appearance of a Dolphin Energy maintenance advertisement in the Gulf News of January 20, 2008:

Dolphin Energy Limited will be a major sponsor of the forthcoming World Future Energy Summit (WFES), which will take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre on January 21-23, 2008.

The summit is being held under the auspices of Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, It will host representatives of government, commerce and NGOs – and will address global  policies and strategies for sustainable and renewable energy. These will focus on carbon management, waste to energy, solar power, wind power, biofuels, clean transport, green property and sustainable architecture.

In 2006, Abu Dhabi announced a major policy decision to develop alternatives for cleaner, safer and renewable sources of energy through its strategic ‘Masdar’ project.

Dolphin Energy CEO Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh said: “Dolphin Energy strongly supports Masdar and the objectives of the WFES. As a major gas supplier to the Southern Gulf, we believe that gas will play a pivotal role as a bridge from traditional energy sources to a future where new forms of energy provide practical solutions for the region.”

As a WFES Summit sponsor, Dolphin Energy is also sponsoring the event’s ‘Time Out’ Pavilion which will provide visitors with a venue to conduct business and network. More than 78 high profile speakers and 180 leading international exhibitors will participate in the conference sessions at the event.
