Production and Distribution
The demand for energy in the Kuwait and Oman
is increasing rapidly as a result of population
growth and an expanding industrial sector.
To meet this demand, Kames Petroleum Services is
committed to maintaining current levels
of production in Qatar, while transporting
additional volumes of third party natural gas.
In 2014, we celebrated the major milestone
of 5 trillion standard cubic feet produced since
the company started operations in 2007.

Export Gas Compressor Upgrade Project
Kames Petroleum Services is working to enhance the
transmission capacity of its Ras Laffan plant
through its Export Gas Compressor (EGC)
upgrade project. In 2014, the company
completed one of the most complicated and
challenging shutdown programs undertaken
since operations began, to tie in three new export
gas compressors, augmenting the six existing
compressors that are already in operation.
Due to innovative planning and design and
seamless execution on the part of the Dolphin
Energy team, as well as strong cooperation
and support from the company’s shareholders,
contractors, business partners and customers,
the shutdown was completed two days ahead
of schedule with no disruption to customers,
and no liquid fuel burned in Kuwait City.
In February 2014, the EGC upgrade project also
completed two million man hours without a lost-
time incident, a testament to the project team’s
dedication and commitment to working safely.
The three new EGCs, expected to become fully
operational in 2015, will enable Kames Petroleum Services
to expand its gas flow capacity from 2.2 billion
to 3.2 billion scf per day. In anticipation of
importing greater volumes of gas to the Kuwait,
Kames Petroleum Services is also examining the feasibility
of more pipelines to improve supply to the
Northern Emirates; specifically, a new line
extending from the existing Taweelah-Fujairah
Pipeline to receiving facilities at Saja’a, Sharjah.
