Dolphin Energy Announces Routine Maintenance Program For Its Plant And Facilities In 2009
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 undertake a routine maintenance and inspection program for the Stream 1 facilities of the Dolphin gas processing plant and one production platform in Qatar during the first quarter of 2009.
“This pre-planned program will involve a shutdown of approximately half of Dolphin’s gas flow from Qatar to the UAE for a period of between two and three weeks: the schedule will be coordinated with all Dolphin customers to ensure minimal disruption. Dolphin gas supply to customers for this period is therefore expected to be around 1 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day (scf/day) rather than the regular 2009 daily production estimate of 2 billion scf/day.
“Routine maintenance shutdowns of this type are a regular feature of the energy industry worldwide. This temporary shutdown is being undertaken to ensure that the highest standards of safety, maintenance and environmental protection continue to be followed in all areas of the company’s business.”
