            ROLLS-ROYCE WINS $136 MILLION CONTRACT TO SUPPLY
                INDUSTRIAL TRENTS TO DOLPHIN ENERGY LTD

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has been awarded contracts worth
$136 million to supply technology and long-term services support to Dolphin
Energy Limited which transports natural gas from Qatar to the United Arab
Emirates and Oman via a 364 km subsea pipeline.

Andrew Heath, Rolls-Royce, President - Energy said: "I am delighted that
Rolls-Royce technology has again been selected to support the Dolphin Gas
Project, one of the largest cross border energy infrastructure projects ever
undertaken in the Middle East. The supply of three new Rolls-Royce Trent gas
turbines to Dolphin Energy is testimony to the six units already installed on
the project. To date, these have recorded over 150,000 operating hours,
transporting billions of standard cubic feet of gas to meet the energy needs of
the UAE and Oman."

Rolls-Royce will supply Dolphin Energy Limited with three industrial Trent gas
turbine compression packages. The three new Trent units, each rated at 52
megawatts, will join six similar Rolls-Royce packages that went into service at
Dolphin Energy's Gas Processing Plant in Ras Laffan, Qatar in 2006.

In addition to selecting Rolls-Royce energy technology, Dolphin Energy Limited
has signed a TotalCare® long-term equipment service agreement designed to
increase equipment availability and reliability.

The equipment will be manufactured and packaged at the Rolls-Royce facilities
in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Mount Vernon, Ohio, U.S.A.

Delivery of the packaged units to Ras Laffan will be in the second and third
quarters of 2013.
