Update on Queensland Gas Pipeline Incident

Current as at 12:00 PM

Jemena crew have successfully completed make-safe activities on a portion of the Queensland Gas Pipeline (QGP) which was impacted following an incident yesterday (5 March 2024).

The impacted portion of the pipeline lies between the Rolleston Compressor Station and Oombabeer, approximately six hours from Gladstone.

Jemena Develops Restoration Plan

As a next step, we are now developing our restoration plan, working with stakeholders involved in supplying gas to the QGP. This work involves mobilising additional crew to the region and securing equipment and materials required to conduct the repair. Once the restoration plan has been completed, we will share our anticipated restoration timeframe.

Gas Supply Secured for Residential Customers

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has issued directions under the East Coast Gas Supply function to divert gas resources and supply to communities in the Gladstone and Rockhampton areas. AEMO has also directed large industrial users to either reduce or cease gas usage.

There are currently no impacts to residential customer supply.

For any safety concerns in an emergency, phone 000.
