Carpentaria Gas Pipeline
The Carpentaria Gas Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline connecting the gas fields to the city of Mount Isa in Queensland, Australia. It is long between the Ballera gas plant in the Eromanga Basin in southwestern Queensland and Mount Isa, a significant mining community in northwestern Queensland. It was originally built to carry gas from the gas fields in the Eromanga Basin to the industrial areas around Mount Isa. Since 2018 it can also operate to carry gas from the Northern Territory via the Northern Gas Pipeline south to markets along the eastern seaboard of Australia. The supply points of the pipeline are Mica Creek Power Station, Diamantina Power Station, Mount Isa Mines, Century Mine, Phosphate Hill Power Station, and via the Cannington Lateral, Cannington Mine and Osborne, Queensland. The Australian Pipeline Trust (a predecessor of APA Group) acquired full ownership of the pipeline in 2004. It had previously owned a 70% share with the rest owned by Santos, Delhi Petro ...

Natural Gas
Natural gas (also called fossil gas or simply gas) is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes. Low levels of trace gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and helium are also usually present. Natural gas is colorless and odorless, so odorizers such as mercaptan (which smells like sulfur or rotten eggs) are commonly added to natural gas supplies for safety so that leaks can be readily detected. Natural gas is a fossil fuel and non-renewable resource that is formed when layers of organic matter (primarily marine microorganisms) decompose under anaerobic conditions and are subjected to intense heat and pressure underground over millions of years. The energy that the decayed organisms originally obtained from the sun via photosynthesis is stored as chemical energy within the molecules of methane and other hydrocarbons. Natural gas can be burned fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Natural Gas Pipelines In Australia
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the physics, physical world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomenon, phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena. The word ''nature'' is borrowed from the Old French ''nature'' and is derived from the Latin word ''natura'', or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth". In ancient philosophy, ''natura'' is mostly used as the Latin translation of the Greek word ''physis'' (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics of plants, animals, and other features of the world to develop of their own accord. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word ...
