Crown Prince Of Qatar Ceremonially Inaugurates Dolphin Energy Gas Processing Plant At Ras Laffan
Event Celebrates Completion of $ 4.8 Billion Dolphin Gas Project
His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, Crown Prince of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of Dolphin Energy Limited and His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, UAE Minister of Presidential Affairs, today celebrated the inauguration of the Dolphin Gas Processing Plant in Qatar.
They were accompanied during the formal Inauguration Ceremony by senior Qatari, UAE and Omani Government officials, the Board of Directors and Senior Management Team of Dolphin Energy, plus other guests.
His Highness the Crown Prince of Qatar formally undertook the inauguration at Dolphin Energy’s Processing Plant in Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City. The Dolphin Gas Processing Plant is the largest single-build gas plant in the world and is central to Dolphin’s operations.
The ceremony marked the successful completion of the Dolphin Gas Project – the largest gas initiative ever undertaken in the Gulf Region. The seven year construction program has seen the creation of a full energy value chain – from gas wells offshore Qatar, onshore processing plant, gas export pipeline to the UAE and substantial gas supplies to customers across the seven Emirates.
Addressing inauguration guests during the official press conference, Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, CEO of Dolphin Energy, said: “I want personally, and sincerely, to thank His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar; His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi; His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi; His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, Deputy UAE Prime Minister and Dolphin Chairman, for their constant support and commitment – as well as the Qatar Government, Qatar Petroleum and our shareholders, Mubadala, Total and Occidental Petroleum, for their important contributions.”
