Pilbara Pipeline System
The Pilbara Pipeline System (PPS) is located in NW Western Australia and is comprised of five transmission pipelines extending from the North West Shelf Joint Venture’s Karratha Gas Plant to Port Hedland. These are as follows:
- The 24km Burrup Extension Pipeline that links Woodside’s Karratha Gas Plant with the Pilbara Energy Pipeline at the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline Mainline Valve 7, 20km south of Karratha.
- The 216km Pilbara Energy Pipeline that transports gas from the Burrup Extension Pipeline, along the Pilbara Coast to Port Hedland, where it interconnects with the Telfer Gas Pipeline.
- The 5km Karratha Lateral that transports gas to the Horizon Power Station at Karratha.
- The 6km HBI Lateral that transports gas from Port Hedland to Alinta Energy’s Port Hedland Power Station.
- The 0.2km Boodarie Gas Lateral that runs to the (now closed) Solomon CNG plant.
The PPS is owned and operated by APA Group. All sections of the PPS are non-scheme pipelines under Part 23 of the National Gas Rules.
