Project details

• Operator: Blue Energy
• Owner: Blue Energy
• Parent company: Blue Energy
• Length: 200 kilometers
• Status: Shelved

Background

The pipeline's purpose was to supply the southern Queensland market, connecting the northern market with the Gladstone LNG Terminal to the east. In July 2021, Blue Energy announced in a 2019 quarterly report that a license was granted to explore the pipeline's feasibility.

As of August 2021, over two years without progress in developing the pipeline had passed, and the project is now considered shelved.
