The Barossa Export Pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline in Australia.

Location

The pipeline would run from the Barossa field to a connection point with the existing Bayu-Undan to Darwin Pipeline which connects to the Darwin LNG Terminal in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. The pipeline's exact route appears on p.2 of ConocoPhillips's January 2019 fact sheet on the project.

Project Details

• Owner: ConocoPhillips Australia 37.5%, SK E&S Australia 37.5%, Santos 25%
• Proposed Capacity:
• Length: 260 km / 162 mi
• Status: Proposed
• Start Year: 2023

Background

In March 2018 the pipeline was included in the Barossa Offshore Project Proposal (OPP) accepted by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA). It will provide a new source of gas to the Darwin LNG Terminal once the Bayu-Undan offshore gas field is exhausted.
