Queensland Approves Arrow's CSG Pipeline

The Queensland Government has approved Arrow Energy’s plan to construct a 580 km coal seam gas pipeline that will cost $1 billion to make.

Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection Andrew Powell said the department had completed its assessment of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Arrow Energy Bowen Pipeline Project, a statement released by the government said.

The pipeline will deliver coal seam gas from gas fields in the Bowen Basin to a proposed LNG plant at Gladstone where the gas will be liquefied and prepared for shipping internationally.

“While the EIS process is now finalised, Arrow Energy will need to obtain some final approvals from EHP and other government agencies. This project will also require Federal Government approval before construction can commence,” the statement said.
