Secunda–Durban Lilly Gas Pipeline
| Part of the Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker, a Global Energy Monitor project. |
The Secunda–Durban Gas Pipeline, also known as the Lilly Pipeline, is an operating natural gas pipeline in South Africa.
Location
The pipeline runs from Secunda, Mpumalanga, to Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, passing through Richards Bay.[1]
Background
The 600-km, 16-inch Secunda–Durban gas pipeline was originally built in 1973 as a part of a longer refined multi-products pipeline, carrying refined products from Durban to the Witwatersrand, but it became underutilized. In 1995 most of the pipeline was repurposed as a gas pipeline, carrying gas in the opposite direction, from Secunda to Durban, with additional off-take points at Newcastle and Empangeni/Richards Bay. It is owned by Transnet. Its capacity is currently limited to 23 million GJ per year, or 0.61 bcm/year.[2][3]
