Background

The initial pipeline, 1TL, was installed in 1982 and licensed in 1983, and the second pipeline, expansion 2TL, was installed in 2002 and licensed in 2003 to support the expansion of the LNG facilities at the Karratha Gas Plant.^[2] Currently, both pipelines transport gas from the three platforms and the Floating Production and Storage Offloading facility (FPSO) that make up the offshore North West Shelf project.^[2]
