Origin Energy completed work on the gas pipeline to provide natural gas to its new 630 MW Darling Downs Power Station. The $1bn power project is to be largest combined cycle power station in Australia by 2010. The 205 km gas pipeline stretches from the Wallumbilla gas hub near Roma to the Talinga gas production facility and gas fields, owned by Australia Pacific LNG, and on to Origins Darling Downs Power Station near Dalby. With the capacity to transport up to 10 mcm/d of gas each day, in addition to meeting the current gas requirements of Darling Downs Power Station, the pipeline is able to act as a short term gas storage facility or support the development of additional gas fired electricity generation. Australia Pacific LNG is a 50:50 joint venture between Origin and ConocoPhillips to develop Australias largest Coal Seam Gas (CSG) reserves in the Surat and Bowen Basins of western Queensland.
