Inaugural
‘Middle East Infrastructure Innovation’ award goes to
Dolphin Energy CEO
Posted: 23 September 2003
Ahmed Al Sayegh selected by regional panelists of MEIDC
– Middle East Infrastructure Development Congress in Dubai
The first-ever professional award for infrastructural innovation
in the Middle East was presented to the CEO of Dolphin Energy Limited,
Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, during a ceremony in Dubai on the evening of
September 21st.
The award was made during the gala dinner of the Middle East Infrastructure
Development Congress (MEIDC), being held on September 21 and 22
alongside Dubai’s current IMF/World Bank meetings.
US-based Senior Executive Partner of Booz Allen Hamilton, Eric
Spiegel, presented the inaugural “MEIDC Infrastructure Innovation
Award” to Mr Al Sayegh, before a distinguished audience of
international bankers, industrialists and energy executives.
The award recognises Mr Al Sayegh’s key role in structuring
the Dolphin Gas Project, and implementing the vision of the Chairman,
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahayan.
This multi-billion dollar strategic energy initiative involves
the production and processing of substantial quantities of Qatar
North Field natural gas from 2006 – and transportation of
the resulting dry gas by pipeline to fuel the UAE’s long-term
industrial growth.
David McLean, Executive Director of MEIDC, said that Mr Al Sayegh
had been nominated during a lengthy process of consultation with
regional CEOs prior to the Congress, now in its 8th year. “Our
research showed that Mr Al Sayegh was nominated by almost every
senior executive that we met – for the conceptual ability
and drive that he has shown in developing this giant project, and
its high-quality management team, over the last five years.”
Mr Al Sayegh expressed his appreciation for the award. He added
"Without the continuous support of the Government of Abu Dhabi
and the achievements of our professional team, the Dolphin Gas Project
could never have become a reality."
Dolphin Energy Limited
