Sharjah: The chief executive of Sharjah National Oil Corp, the emirate’s state-owned oil and gas firm, said on Sunday he does not expect flows of natural gas from Qatar to the UAE to be interrupted by the diplomatic dispute in the region. “We have not seen any impact yet on the gas side with regards to Qatar... The pipeline between Abu Dhabi and Qatar has not been impacted,” Hatem Al Mousa told reporters.

The Dolphin gas pipeline links Qatar’s giant North Field with the UAE and Oman, and was the first cross-border gas project in the Gulf Arab region. It pumps around 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day to the UAE.
