The difference between the sum of these average volumes and the maximum production capacity of two billion standard cubic feet per day allows us to manage other long-term liabilities, and provides flexibility to maximize gas sales volumes so we can meet customer needs.
Dolphin Energy's marketing functions fall into two distinct categories. These are the sale and purchase of natural gas and the sales of our condensate, LPG, sulfur and ethane, which are the valuable by-products of our gas processing plant in Qatar.
