The Port Kembla to EGP Gas Pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline in Australia.[1]
Location
The pipeline would run from the proposed Port Kembla FSRU and connect to the existing Eastern Gas Pipeline.
Project Details
- Operator: Jemena[2]
- Owner: Australian Industrial Energy (AIE)[2]
- Parent company: Squadron Energy[3]
- Proposed capacity: 485 terajoules per day / 459.69 million cubic feet per day[4]
- Length: 4.3 km[2]
- Diameter: 18 inches[2]
- Cost: USD$48.58 million[1]
- Status: Construction[5]
- Start Year: 2025[6]
Background
In June 2020, Jemena submitted a plan for the pipeline to the New South Wales government. Jemena director Frank Tudor asserted that a connection to the Port Kembla FSRU would provide cheaper gas than the proposed West-East Gas Pipeline from western Australia.[7]
In March 2021, it was announced that Jemena had signed a deal with Australian Industrial Energy (AIE) to connect the Port Kembla FSRU LNG import terminal to the Eastern Gas Pipeline via a 12.1-kilometer pipeline that Jemena will build and operate.[4] The initial segment of this pipeline, the Port Kembla to EGP Gas Pipeline (4.3 km), is owned by AIE, and has been approved as part of the lager Port Kembla FSRU project. This segment runs from the Port Kembla FSRU and ties into the existing Port Kembla lateral pipeline and the proposed Port Kembla Lateral Looping pipeline (7.8 km), which are both a part of the Eastern Gas Pipeline, owned by Jemena.
On February 2023, the first directional drilling drive for the pipeline was completed, so the pipeline is assumed to be under construction as of August 2023.[5]
