Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline
The Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) is the longest natural gas pipeline in Australia. It is 660mm in diameter, which also makes it one of Australia's largest in terms of transmission capacity. At the time of its commissioning in 1984, [2] it was one of the longest gas pipelines in the world. [3]

The pipeline runs from a point near Withnell Bay, on the Burrup Peninsula near Dampier, Western Australia to Bunbury in the southwest of the State. It carries natural gas, most of which enters the pipeline at the domestic gas plant associated with the North West Shelf Venture project. The other main inlet point is approximately 135 kilometers
- Who owns Dampier Bunbury Pipeline?
- Epic Energy owned and operated the pipeline for six years, eventually selling the pipeline in October 2004 to Dampier Bunbury Pipeline (DBP) Ltd, which is the trading name of the DBNGP group of companies. DBP had two institutional shareholders: D.U.E.T. (Diversified Utilities and Energy Trusts) (80%) and Alcoa (20%) up until 2017.
- Who uses the DBNGP pipeline?
- The majority of the natural gas transported by the pipeline is consumed by major industrial users in the mining and minerals processing industries, but it also supplies gas to power generators and gas retailers. The DBNGP was constructed in stages between 1982 and 1985 by the State Energy Commission (SECWA).
- When was natural gas introduced into the DBNGP?
- Natural gas was introduced into the pipeline in 1984 when the first stage stretching from Dampier to Kwinana Junction was commissioned with throughput of about 240 TJ/d. In 1985 the pipeline was extended to Bunbury. The DBNGP has been in continuous operation ever since.
- What is DBNGP & how does it work?
- 3. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION The DBNGP transports natural gas approximately 1,600km from the Burrup Peninsula, starting near the township of Dampier, running parallel to the west coast of Western Australia and finishing near Bunbury.
- What is the DBNGP transition?
- This transition will require the coordinated support of gas users, regulatory bodies, and gas policy makers. The DBNGP (Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline) is Western Australia’s most significant gas transmission asset and provides natural gas to regional and metropolitan WA.
- When did SECWA start supplying natural gas to Bunbury?
- In 1985 the pipeline was extended to Bunbury. The DBNGP has been in continuous operation ever since. As well as funding the pipeline project, SECWA was the foundation contract for the new supply of natural gas. SECWA entered into a long term contract with the North West Shelf Partners to purchase fixed volumes of gas.
