Dolphin, a joint venture between the Abu Dhabi government, Total and Occidental Petroleum, said in November that it has invited nine groups including Technip SA and Snamprogetti to tender to construct the Fujairah pipeline. Bids are due by 31 January, and the winning group will be selected “before the summer”. Last July, Dolphin started delivering gas from Qatar’s North Field through a subsea pipeline to Taweelah as part of its $3.5-billion project to meet soaring power demand in the UAE, the second-biggest Arab economy after Saudi Arabia.
