Did you see Craig Farrugia and the Eastern Gas Pipeline (EGP) made the TV news recently? The EGP is now connected to Squadron Energy’s Port Kembla Energy Terminal (PKET) which is Australia’s first and only regasification terminal. Craig is our General Manager Gas Services and has been involved in work to make the EGP bi-directional - so gas can flow from PKET to the south and the north. As Craig says in the WIN News interview that gives the east coast gas market much needed optionality. "The upgrades will allow gas to be transported in multiple directions, creating greater flexibility and optionality for supply into New South Wales and Victoria," he said. PKET can receive liquefied natural gas (LNG) which is then converted back into gas. The gas will then be transported via a 12-kilometre pipeline to Kembla Grange, where it will enter the EGP for distribution to Victoria or New South Wales. PKET can be in operation next year, in time to help ease future gas shortfalls on the east coast. Thanks Craig – you can now add TV star to your resume!
