BHP Billiton approves Bream gas pipeline in Bass Strait, Australia

25/10/2001

BHP Billiton has approved construction of a fourth Bass Strait gas pipeline from the Bream field, offshore southern Australia into the Gippsland production network. The 46-km pipeline is planned to allow the production of gas reserves currently being re-injected into the Bream reservoir. It will run from the Bream A platform in Bass Strait, cross the Gippland coast near Paradise Beach, and continue five kilometres underground to an existing pipeline upstream of the joint venture’s gas and crude oil processing plant at Longford.
