Abu Dhabi Gas.

Publication: APS Review Gas Market Trends
Date: Monday, May 22 2000

Under a final agreement signed in February 1998 between DSC and ADNOC, Abu Dhabi will begin gas supplies to Jebel Ali by May 2001 through a 48-inch, 130-km pipeline from Maqta to Jebel Ali which will pass through Taweelah. The line is being built by a partnership of ADNOC affiliate National

Petroleum Construction Co. (NPCC) and Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Int'l Co. (CCC), under a $150m, 14-month contract signed in February 2000. NPCC is a JV of ADNOC and CCC.

Initial deliveries will average 500 MCF/d. It is agreed that, by 2003, they will rise to 800 MCF/d. The pipeline will be operated by ADNOC subsidiary Abu Dhabi Gas Processing & Transportation (Atheer), which will pipe the gas from Abu Dhabi's onshore fields.

On Dubai's side the deal with ADNOC was signed by Shaikh Ahmad Bin Said Al Maktoum, head of DSC and uncle of Shaikh Mohammed Bin Rashid. It is said that the price Dubai should pay to ADNOC is a bit lower than the $0.85/m BTU which DSC will pay for Iranian gas.
