Arrow Energy To Build 360-Mile Pipeline

Arrow Energy plans to develop a 580-km pipeline from north of Moranbah to Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. As proposed, the Arrow Bowen Pipeline will transport coal seam gas from the Bowen Basin to a gas hub 22-km west of Gladstone, where it will join the proposed Arrow Surat Pipeline.

The proposed route begins in the southern part of Whitsunday region and runs south through the Isaac, Rockhampton and Gladstone local government areas. The pipeline will be between 610 and 860 mm in diameter and at least 750 mm deep.

The construction process will involve a 40-meter right-of-way and continue for three to six months, given favorable weather conditions.

The pipeline’s environmental impact statement was approved by the Queensland Government in March 2013, while an application for Commonwealth approval is still being assessed.
