Dolphin Energy starts supplying gas to Sharjah

Qatar’s Dolphin Energy Limited has announced that it is supplying Sharjah with gas for the first time through the Qatar UAE transit pipeline. The gas is being delivered to the Sharjah Electricity & Water Authority via Dolphin’s new pipeline connection to Dubai on an interruptible basis begun on April 18th 2008.

Through existing supply arrangements to the Federal Electricity & Water Authority and Sharjah Electricity & Water Authority, Dolphin now supplies all UAE Emirates with its natural gas. It already supplies gas directly to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah.

Mr Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh CEO of Dolphin Energy said that "Dolphin is happy that it can supply gas to Sharjah to meet the Emirate’s growing energy needs. Dolphin gas is currently helping all of the UAE’s emirates to meet power demand, and we shall assist wherever we can in future."

In February 2008, Dolphin has achieved full capacity that reached a daily maximum of 2 billion standard cubic feet of gas a day.
