investments.Australia’s recent, current and planned gas pipeline construction projects (Tables 3-5) highlight the move towards equal division between pipelines constructed primarily for export and pipelines that service the domestic market. New LNG plants in the North West of the country have driven recent pipeline capacity expansion in the west coast market, while the Gladstone LNG export plant on the east coast has resulted in 530km of pipeline to trans- port CSG from the gas fi elds of Surat and Bowen. The huge proposed 1,100km Northern Territories Pipeline Link is designed to access stranded gas fi nds and bolster gas supplies to energy-hungry New South Wales. However, according to Graeme Bethune, CEO at the EnergyQuest energy consultancy, the scheme is “unlikely to happen”. Despite these investments in production and pipeline
transportation, there remains a potential tension between gas production for export markets and gas destined for the domestic market.
