Project Details

• Operator: Jemena
• Owner: Jemena
• Current Capacity: 41 terajoules per day (37.9 million cubic feet per day)
• Length: 6 Miles / 9 kilometers
• Status: Operating
• Start Year: 2009

Background

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