Background

The Moomba Sydney Pipeline System is operated by Eastern Australian Pipeline Limited, which is owned by APA Group.^[1] In 2008, the completion of the QSN Link pipeline meant that the Moomba to Sydney Pipeline began carrying coal seam gas from the Bowen-Surat basin in Queensland.^[1] In 2015, the MSP was reversed so gas would flow from Sydney to Moomba and then north to Gladstone to feed LNG export trains.^[3]
