Northern gas pipeline expansion project, Australia

Name of the Project
Northern gas pipeline (NGP) expansion project.

Location
Northern Territory and Queensland, in Australia.

Project Owner/s
Jemena.

Project Description
Jemena has signed a binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Tamboran Resources – the holder of premium acreage in the highly prospective Beetaloo/McArthur basin.

As a result of the partnership, Jemena plans to progressively increase the NGP’s capacity from about 90 TJ/d of gas to 1 000 TJ/d of gas through a combination of compression and looping. 

The NGP will then be connected to the company’s proposed Galilee gas pipeline, which will span an estimated 585 km and will transport gas from Galilee Energy’s Glenaras gas project near Longreach, in the Galilee basin, to the Wallumbilla gas hub, in Queensland.  

As part of the MoU, Tamboran – which holds 25% of Santos’ exploration venture for the Beetaloo – will be responsible for upstream activities across the basin.
