The Trans-Territory Pipeline was a proposed natural gas pipeline.[1]
Location
The pipeline would have run from the Blacktip Gas Field in the Timor Sea to Gove, Northern Territory and then to Wadeye, Northern Territory.
Project details
- Operator: Woodside Energy
- Parent company: Woodside Energy, Eni Australia, Alcan Gove
- Capacity: 104.26 million cubic feet per day / 110 terajoules per day
- Length: 940 kilometers / 584 miles
- Status: Cancelled
Background
In September 2003, Woodside Energy and Alcan Gove filed a Notice of Intent to build the pipeline with the Northern Territory Government. According to this Notice, "The gas pipeline will transport treated gas from the Blacktip field to supply fuel to Alcan's alumina plant in Gove. The pipeline will consist of a buried high tensile steel pipe located in a corridor of upto 30 metres wide."[2] Construction was scheduled to begin in 2006 and the pipeline was expected to be operational in 2007.[1] Stalled negotiations with potential customers contributed to the decision to cancel the pipeline in 2005.[3] Building the pipeline would have required easements from 27 indigenous Aboriginal tribes.[4]
