UAE is importing 2.0 BCFD from Qatar with projection to reach 3.2 BCFD along from others to reach 5.0 BCFD by 2015 , thus NOT self sufficient

Emarat Has played a major role in the Integrations …

01/02/143019 01/02/143019

Integration Emarat - DELEmarat Network Interfaced with DEL ( 14” x 24” ) in Fujairah Jan 2005 . Capacity of 120 MMSCFD to Supply DEL Customer & To swab gas with others .

01/02/143020 01/02/143020

Integration Emarat - RAKEmarat Network Interfaced with RAK in two locations :-1-Maddfaq with Capacity 50 MMSCFD Gas to Al Hamra in 2005 2-Khorkowair with capacity 75 MMSCFD for Atlantis Gas into Emarat Network in 2008 .

Integration Summary

Emarat physically Integrated with RAK , Dubai & DEL

DEL is full integrated with GASCO & Dubai.

So Gas can flow from Qatar to RAK and gas swap can take place so easily , B U T ….

This is totally incomplete as integration need to be taken steps forward toward full integration :-

Operationally & Logistically .

01/02/143025

Every Operator’s Activity is Duplicated, thus Costs for

O&M is unjustified , thus the need for integration to Save

10s of Million of $$$$$$$ .

Why Fully Integration ?

Areas & Challenges for Complete Integration to bring up Efficient operation / maintenance , Safe transmission & $$ Savings

01/02/143027 01/02/143027

PL Transmission Network

Stop building unnecessary pipelines , eliminate duplication

01/02/143028

Pipelines & Right-of-way

Line Patrolling can be shared and made more Frequent & reduce mileages & H. Security

Maintaining the integrity of pipelines which may run hundreds of miles through desolate terrain is a highly demanding and manpower intensive proposition.

Unmanned Arial Patrol of pipeline and ROW is highly reliable, cost effective

01/02/143029

Operational Code of Practices

Standardized metering units , calculation & billing balancing of

Energy Input – output and Operation &

maintenance codes &plans

Operation of Gas Compressor Stations

Compression , De-C-compression , Recompression

DELDusupSharjahEmaratCustomer

Compression & Recompression can waste 3 % of the transported Gas

01/02/143031 01/02/143031

Main Gas Network Control Centre

With full integration The UAE Gas Network is to be remotely controlled and monitored from One Main control centre via a

dedicated state of the art SCADA system .

01/02/143032 01/02/143032

Operational Enhancements & Gains( to Suppliers & Customers )

Use of Huge pipeline Network dynamics in order to maximize gas supply and availability during peak load periods. Line pack or storage .

Ability to match supply and demand forecasts on a daily basis.

Fuel Saving due to utilization of high pressure supplies and less uses of compression . 1.5 % compromise for fuel of deliveries .

Unifying metering standards , units , bases for all customer forhigher accuracy .

One system balance for one network to present accurate and fair gas loss / gains for each customer .This is a basis to provide accurate billing detail.

Gains from one GPNExample of a customer in RAK buying gas from AbuDhabi

01/02/143035

Gains from one GPN

• Example of a customer in RAK buying gas from AD .

• Contractor or new project for cross country PL will need NOCs from many parties with different conditions .

• Efficient gas transmission for both Supplier & Customer Gas Swap , Line Pack & Minimizing Liquids firings.

• Developed a transparent Tariff system with world wide used options . Moving from regulated market to deregulated market and no more stamp postage tariff

• Superior utilizations of manpower & resources along with Positive financial & environmental impacts .

01/02/143036

RecommendationsOne gas network under one operator with overall responsibilities for the whole planning O&M .

Gas Law to be adapted and fully enforced by the UAE Government .

Award a specialist to look into the integration and operation of the UAE Gas Network . Forming a single Holding incorporated Company under UAE law .

O&M Operators can be hired ( contracted ) or a team can be formed from the existing operators .

Efficiency in managing Energy Requirement with the UAE Power Sector by synchronizing Gas distribution to Oil transportation costs .

01/0237 /1430

Conclusion & Summary

Targeting to increase efficiency , security of

supplies & efficient O&M

The UAE Government must enforce a Gas Law to

regulate the building & Operations of for Pipelines

The UAE Gas Network will set the path for a GCC

Gas Network .

UAE needs a fully integrated Gas Network

operated by a highly experienced Operator
