NEWS FROM THE GLOBAL FLASH

Enron arranges first gas pipeline import into Italy
Enron has continued its pioneering activities in the Continental gas market 
by arranging the first gas import into Italy.  The Italian team worked with 
the Continental Gas desk to arrange this strategically important agreement 
with Blugas SpA., the wholesale gas company formed by the municipalities of 
Cremona, Lodi, Mantova and Pavia in north-eastern Italy.  Enron has sourced 
100,000 cubic metres per day of natural gas from northern Europe to transport 
to Italy, transiting it through Germany and Switzerland, despite fierce 
resistance from Ruhrgas and TransitGas respectively.  

Aside from isolated LNG imports by incumbent monopolies this is the first 
time that any company has managed to import natural gas by pipeline into 
Italy since the Italian gas sector was officially liberalised in August 2000. 
The gas, which started flowing at 06.00 on Thursday 17th May 2001, will be 
used to meet the needs of two thirds of Blugas' residential customers within 
the four municipalities. The current contract lasts for five months.

Congratulations to Fabio Greco, Carsten Haack, Didier Magne, Michael Schuh, 
Marco Lantieri and Daniela Uguccioni.

Enron in the Middle East 
Enron has relinquished its stake in Dolphin Energy, the joint venture company 
formed to develop gas reserves in Qatar.
Enron has agreed to transfer its 24.5 per cent stake in the project to the 
United Arab Emirates Offset Group (UOG), the majority shareholder. The 
agreement allows Enron to deploy capital elsewhere and gives UOG the 
opportunity to seek new partners before the project moves into its next phase.

Development of the Emden/Oude gas hub moves ahead fast
An important milestone in the evolution of the new gas trading hub on the 
Dutch-German
border was reached last week. Last Friday some of the major European gas 
players held a meeting to officially establish the Emden/Oude gas hub. 
Although Enron had already initiated the development of the Emden/Oude hub by 
making a market through EnronOnline as early as December 2000, the goal of 
this meeting was to set up a working group similar to the Zeebrugge focus 
group who can  work on setting a legal framework for the Emden/Oude hub. 

Enron was elected as the only new market entrant in this group, reflecting 
the high level of respect industry peers have for Enron as a major player in 
the Continental gas market -- even from incumbents!
