Overview

In September 2013, AGIG partnered with Chevron to develop, build and operate the Wheatstone Ashburton West Pipeline (WAWP), a 109km, 16-inch pipeline consisting of the Wheatstone Lateral and Ashburton West Loop, alongside the refurbished 87km, 10-inch Ashburton West Lateral.

Key works included:

  • Upgrading the existing 10-inch pipeline from Ashburton West to DBNGP Compressor Station 2
  • Building an adjacent 87km, 16-inch loop pipeline
  • Constructing a 22km, 16-inch connection to Wheatstone

Backed by a 30-year take-or-pay contract, the project offers 337 TJ/day capacity with future expansion to 600 TJ/day.
