Qatar Petroleum said it has signed a new long-term gas sale and purchase agreement with Dolphin Energy of the UAE for delivery of additional gas quantities through the existing subsea pipeline.
The supply of the additional gas quantities under this new agreement will be allocated to Sewa and Rakgas using the existing UAE Eastern Gas Distribution Network, Qatar Petroleum said in a statement.
Dolphin started gas supply to the UAE in July 2007 and in February 2008, achieving full throughput of 2 billion standard cubic feet per day.
Last year, the company upgraded its compression facilities and installed three new export gas compressors at its gas processing plant in Ras Laffan to match its export gas pipeline’s supply capacity of 3.2 billion standard cubic feet per day.
