Dolphin carries out routine maintenance Dolphin Energy undertook a routine maintenance and inspection programme for the Train 2 facilities at its gas processing plant in Ras Laffan, Qatar. The programme will take place from February 26th to March 8th and is taking place during a period of low consumer demand. Gas supply to customers for the period is expected to
reduce by a quarter to 1.5 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day (scf/day) rather than the regular daily production of 2 billion scf/ day, the company said in a statement to the media. Dolphin Energy implemented a similar partial shutdown in 2009 when part of its processing and production facilities underwent a series of inspections over a five week period.
“Routine maintenance shutdowns of this type are a regular feature of the energy industry world wide. This temporary shutdown is being undertaken to ensure that the highest standards of safety, maintenance and environmental protection continue to be followed in all areas of the company’s business,” the company explained. Train 2 maintenance reduced output .
