  • PRESS RELEASE

Dolphin Energy, the Abu Dhabi-headquartered company which focuses on supplying natural gas to utility companies and energy companies in the UAE and Oman, has been awarded the 2005 'Excellence In Energy' award following an oil and gas industry poll.

"This award recognises Dolphin Energy's achievement in creating the largest single energy initiative undertaken in the Middle East," said Eileen Michael, Publisher, Reflex Publishing Middle East FZE, which organises the awards under its Pipeline Magazine title.

"With natural gas from Qatar, Dolphin Energy brings together three GCC nations - the UAE, Qatar and Oman - in a regional energy network for the first time. In addition, it supports the development of new industries creating wealth, growth and employment opportunities for citizens of the region."

This is the second Excellence In Energy award for Dolphin, last year it scooped the 'Best In Environment' honour.

The annual Excellence In Energy awards are voted for by the oil and gas industry via Pipeline Magazine and this year they pulled a record poll with heavy voting from Qatar and the USA.

The award was presented to Dolphin Energy's CEO Ahmed Al Seyegh in a glittering gala dinner at the Doha Golf Club in Qatar - the first time the event had been held in the peninsula state. The awards this year were held under the patronage of His Excellency Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, Qatar's Minister of Energy and Industry.

About Dolphin Energy Limited:
Dolphin Energy Limited was created to develop substantial energy projects throughout the GCC. Its objective is to create long-term economic wealth and new business opportunities for GCC citizens, far into the future.

Dolphin Energy's major strategic initiative, the Dolphin Project, involves the production and processing of natural gas from Qatar's North Field and transportation of the dry gas by sub-sea pipeline across joint UAE-Qatari waters to the UAE, beginning in 2006.

Dolphin Energy's first initiative, the Al Ain to Fujairah Pipeline, came on stream in January 2004. The pipeline supplies the Fujairah Water and Power Plant on the UAE's East Coast - initially with natural gas from Oman, and subsequently with Dolphin gas from Qatar. In May 2005, Dolphin began to supply natural gas to the UAE Emirates of Ras Al Khaimah. The gas is being delivered via a tie-in near Qidfa between Dolphin's Al Ain - Fujairah pipeline and the existing Emarat gas pipeline network.

Dolphin Energy is owned 51 percent by Mubadala Development Company, on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi - and 24.5 percent each by Total of France and Occidental Petroleum of the USA.
