Qatar sticks to Dolphin pipe costs



By Upstream staff 

Qatari Oil Minister Abdullah al-Attiyah does not see any reason to raise the $3.5 billion cost estimate for the Dolphin gas pipeline that runs from Qatar to the United Arab Emirates.

The link, the first cross-border gas line in the Gulf Arab region, is due for commercial launch in the summer.

Dolphin will take up to 3.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas to the UAE. Next year, the line is set to begin supplying around 200 million cubic feet per day to Oman.

Abu Dhabi government-run Mubadala Development Company owns 51% of Dolphin, while France's Total and US player Occidental Petroleum each hold a 24.5% stake, a Reuters report said.
