Pipeline eyed for Bowen

摘要

THE Queensland government is investigating the feasibility of a new pipeline to help connect gas reserves in the onshore Bowen basin to Australia's east coast and export gas markets. Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk late last week confirmed that the state government is committing A$5 million (US$3.6 million) for the concept study. "Our gas industry is a vital part of our state's energy and resources future, that's why we're committing A$5 million for a concept study into the Bowen basin pipeline to build productive infrastructure connecting high quality gas reserves to the east coast and export gas market," she said.
