The Equus Gas Pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline in Australia.[1]
Location
The pipeline would run from the Carnavoran Basin offshore northwest Australia, connecting the Equus FLNG offshore Onslow, Western Australia to the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area.[1]
Project Details
- Owner: Western Gas
- Proposed capacity: 331.74 million cubic feet per day / 350 terajoules per day[2]
- Length: 210 km[1]
- Status: Proposed
- Start Year: 2024[3]
Background
In December 2018 Western Gas signed a memorandum of understanding with McDermott and Baker Hughes to develop the Equus Gas Project offshore northwest Western Australia. The project includes a 2 mtpa floating LNG terminal, Equus FLNG, and the 160-km Equus Gas Pipeline.[4] In September 2019 Western Gas was reported to be seeking a partner for the project.[3]
In April 2020, gasworld reported speculation that Western Gas was likely to delay the terminal due to LNG demand uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
In March 2021, Western Gas and APA Group signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to study the possibility of delivering gas from the Equus FLNG terminal.[2]
