EnsuringSuccessful Operationof ThreeNewExport GasCompressors
In2015, DolphinEnergy signedaLong-Term
ServiceAgreement (LTSA)withSiemens to
provide 18years serviceandmajormaintenance
to the threenewEGCs and sixexistingEGCs
at our gas compressionandprocessingplantin
Ras Laffan. OurCEOMr. Adel AhmedAlbuainain
commented: “This long-term serviceagreement
places the companyonaneven stronger footing
because it supportsour efforts toensure the
sustainability, reliabilityandavailabilityof natural
gas exports to theKuwaitandOman.
It alsobuildson theexisting strong relationship
wedevelopedwithRolls-Royce,whichhasnow
transferred toSiemens and continues toprovide
DolphinEnergywithdirect access to theoriginal
equipmentmanufacturer, therebyprovidingus
thebest serviceavailable in themarket.”
NitrogenGas Supply
Since the start-upof our upstreamgasplant,
nitrogen consumptionhas exceedednitrogen
production fromour plant nitrogengeneration
unit.We therefore importednitrogen froman
external liquidnitrogen supplier toprovidean
additional reliable sourceof gaseousnitrogen
supplyand compensate for shortages at plant
peakdemandduring shutdownandprocess
expansions. The liquidnitrogengaswas
transported toour plant via road tankers
ona regular basis.
Withanewagreement signed in2014, GASAL
Q.S.C., Qatar constructed in2015apipeline
for supplyinggaseousnitrogen toour upstream
gasplant. This eliminated the riskassociated
with liquidnitrogen transportationby road
tankers and the riskassociatedwithmanual
handlingof liquidnitrogenbyDolphinEnergy
operators. Inaddition, it provideda source
of reliablenitrogen supply in theevent of an
outageofDolphinEnergy’snitrogengeneration
and reducedoperational costs.
Our long-term service agreementwithSiemens places the
companyon aneven stronger footingbecause it supports
our efforts toensure the sustainability, reliability and
availabilityof natural gas exports to theKuwait andOman.
