Dampier Bunbury Pipeline | AGIG - Australian Gas Networks
Dampier Bunbury Pipeline WA’s strong and diverse resource industry has positioned the State front and centre in the economic landscape of Australia. Both natural gas and the pipeline play an important role in the State’s economy, providing the energy many major mining and resources customers need to power their operations.
Draft Plan 2025 - 2025
Plan for the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) Access Arrangement (AA). Our Draft Plan sets out our proposals for the AA period commencing 1 January 2025 (AA5). Our plans are designed to maintain the reliability, safety and sustainability of the pipeline. Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) is one of Australia’s largest
About DBP | AGIG - Australian Gas Networks
As WA’s key gas transmission pipeline, the DBNGP spans 1600 kilometres, linking the gas fields located in the Carnarvon Basin off the Pilbara coast and the Perth Basin directly to mining, industrial, customers and homes in Perth via the distribution network. Our principle role is to ensure the safe and reliable operatorship of the DBNGP.
Dampier to Bunbury pipeline - WA
The Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) corridor is an area of land that houses the high-pressure gas pipelines which supplies gas to heavy and light industry consumers, electricity generation and homes within Western Australia.

Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline - Department of Mines
The DBNGP is a buried pipeline that 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. Figure 1 provides an overview of the route traversed by the DBNGP.
- 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).
- Should DBP adopt a pipeline design based on a gas composition?
- Kimber Consultants recommends that DBP should adopt a pipeline design that is based on a gas composition implied in the Recommended Design Gas Composition as shown in Table 4, which has a combination of the lowest expected heating value, a low Wobbe index, no LPG and modest levels of inerts.
- Who owns DBNGP?
- The Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (“DBNGP”) is owned by DBNGP (WA) Nominees Pty Ltd as Trustee for the DBNGP (WA) Pipeline Trust and is operated by DBNGP (WA) Transmission Pty Ltd (“DBP”). The DBNGP system is described in Section 2. The boundaries of the system are defined by the system’s inlet and outlet points and notional gate points.
- What is the longest natural gas pipeline in Australia?
- The Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) is the longest natural gas pipeline in Australia. It is 660 millimetres (26 in) in diameter, which also makes it one of Australia's largest in terms of transmission capacity. At the time of its commissioning in 1984, it was one of the longest gas pipelines in Australia.
- What happens if DBP chooses a high quality gas specification/composition?
- Conversely, if DBP chooses a high quality gas specification/composition and lower quality gas is shipped, then the pipeline’s increased capacity will be “under-designed” and DBP will not have the pipeline capacity to sell as a firm service and will incur penalties; and the incremental tariffs will not result in cost recovery – a double loss.
