Northern Territory opens A$800m gas pipeline

The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (Appea) has welcomed the opening of the Northern gas pipeline between Tennant Creek, in the Northern Territory, and Mt Isa, in Queensland.

Infrastructure developer Jemena has completed the construction of the A$800-million, 622 km pipeline that will transport gas from the Northern Territory fields to Mt Isa, with the gas feeding a number of mining and commercial operations in Queensland’s north-west.
