and processing of natural gas from Qatar’s North

to the UAE, beginning in 2006.

the Al Ain to Fujairah Pipeline, came on stream in

with natural gas from Oman, and subsequently with Dolphin
gas from Qatar. In May 2005, Dolphin began to supply
natural gas to the UAE Emirate 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.
