MAJOR GAS EXPANSION

摘要

The SEA Gas underground pipeline from Victoria to South Australia is to be significantly expanded. Under a recently-signed deal, International Power, Origin Energy and TXU have become equal equity participants in the expanded SEA Gas pipeline, now worth approximately 500 million dollars. The expanded SEA Gas Pipeline will avoid the potential requirement for a second pipeline from Victoria to Adelaide while boosting the supply of gas through the line from up to 70 PetaJoules per annum to 125 PetaJoules. The diameter of the 680km pipeline will be increased from 360mm (14 inches) to 450mm (18 inches).
