Total has announced that the Dolphin Gas Project is now producing natural gas from Qatar and is exporting it to the United Arab Emirates.

The partners in the Project, Total, 24.5%, Mubadala Development Company, on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi, 51%, and Occidental Petroleum, 24.5%, are grouped together in the company Dolphin Energy Limited.

Dolphin is the largest natural gas project ever developed between two countries in the Gulf.

It involves the development of natural gas reserves from Qatar’s giant offshore North Field, via two unmanned production platforms. The gas is treated onshore at the plant built by Dolphin Energy in Ras Laffan in Qatar. Gas production for export will ramp up to 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day in early 2008.
