Click here for more www.rolex.com The Dubai Natural Gas Company (Dugas) has played an integral role in the development of Dubai and has a history which reflects a resourceful commitment to its people and its future. Dugas (wholly-owned by the Government of Dubai) was set up in 1977 to gather natural gas being flared offshore and, later on, onshore in 1989, and transported to the company’s Jebel Ali processing plant for separation into liquid products and residue gas. The Jebel Ali Plant, at the time the most modern facility of its type, was inaugurated on April 22nd 1980 by the late ruler of Dubai, His Highness, Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum – Dubai was a producer, and exporter of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Liquid products are primarily exported to the world market, although some is supplied locally to the Government of Dubai owned Emirates Gas Bottling Company for domestic use. Dry fuel gas goes offshore as fuel for Dubai Petroleum Company (DPC) and Dugas production platforms. Since those early days, Dugas has brought various expansion projects on line, increasing processing capacity. These include an additional gas processing plant to cope with additional quantities of rich gas from other sources, which necessitated extensive laying of additional gas pipelines. Dugas has also been at the UAE forefront of environmental technology for industry. In 1992 it brought online a sulphur recovery plant allowing a high sulphur content gas stream to be processed while decreasing toxic emissions and enhancing the commercial value of gas. Dugas was awarded ISO 14001 certification for its Environmental Management System in 1998. In 1994, Dugas expanded into the petrochemical business bringing on stream its MTBE plant which produces methyl-tertiary butyl ether, an additive for unleaded gasoline, now despatched world wide from Jebel Ali. MTBE helps raise the octane level of gasoline by supplying additional oxygen during combustion, allowing cleaner, more complete burning thereby reducing emissions. Commitment to the development of the UAE and its people is reflected through Dugas’s strategic Manpower Development Programme, which is aimed at developing and enhancing the skill levels of nationals, thus ensuring the continued success of the company. Nationals now represent 45% of the company’s total workforce. The programme is in line with the UAE government’s plans to utilize and develop the country’s own human resources in local industry.
