The BSOPP Gas Pipeline is an operating natural gas pipeline in Australia. It powers a gas-fired plant at the Beyondie Sulphate of Potash Project (BSOPP) being developed by Kalium Lakes Ltd. The plant is expected to produce sulphate of potash fertilizer for domestic and international markets.

Location

The pipeline would go from Kumarina to the BSOPP located 160 km southeast of Newman, Western Australia.

Background

Construction began in July 2020.

In October 2020, Kalium Lakes Ltd announced that BSOPP was approaching 70% completion, on budget and on schedule. This includes the practical completion of the BSOPP natural gas pipeline, which is fully owned by Kalium Lakes Ltd, as well as the the installation of key equipment for the SOP purification plant.

In April 2021, Kalium Lakes Ltd introduced gas through the pipeline to the delivery station, where it will be supplied to the plant. Commercial production is expected to begin in September 2021. The pipeline and associated gas plant were commissioned in September 2021.
