Dolphin Energy

In 1999, the government of Abu Dhabi established Dolphin Energy Limited to implement the Dolphin Gas Project and link Qatar, the UAE and Oman in a unique, strategic energy initiative.

After several years planning, drilling, construction and engineering gas production started in July 2007 at the company’s onshore facilities in Ras Laffan, Qatar. Here, gas taken offshore, from the North Field, is processed before export via subsea pipeline to the UAE. In February 2008, the Project reached full throughput of 2 billion standard cubic feet per day, helping meet 30% of the UAE’s energy requirements. Supplies of natural gas to Oman started in October of the same year.

The overall investment in wells, sea lines, processing plant, export pipeline, receiving facilities and distribution network has made the Dolphin Gas Project one of the largest energy-related ventures ever undertaken in the Middle East.

Dolphin Energy’s overall objective is to create long-term economic wealth and new business opportunities for GCC citizens far into the future. By providing 333,000 barrels of oil equivalent every single the day the Project is supporting industrial growth, economic diversification and the transition to a low carbon future.
