Project details

• Operator: Jemena
• Owner: Jemena
• Capacity: 38.86 million cubic feet per day / 41 terajoules per day
• Length: 9 kilometers
• Status: Operating
• Start year: 2009

Background

The pipeline is operated and owned by Jemena. Due to route restrictions, the 9-kilometer pipeline was looped to fit in a 1-kilometer stretch of land, and used 42-inch pipe to do so, making it the largest-diameter onshore pipeline in Australia.
