Dampier Bunbury Pipeline

The Dampier Bunbury Pipeline (DBP) is part of the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG), which owns and operates gas transmission and distribution pipelines across Australia. 

DBP owns and operates Australia’s largest gas pipeline and one of Western Australia’s most critical pieces of energy infrastructure, the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP). 

The DBNGP asset spans 1547 kilometres throughout Western Australia linking the gas fields located in the northern Carnarvon Basin off the Pilbara coast, directly to the south-west of the State.  

The DBNGP is a high-tensile steel pipeline, comprising 10 compressor stations spaced around 140km apart, each with two operational compressors. 1,268km of mainline pipe is currently duplicated (looped). In addition, there are 330km of laterals (offshoot pipelines that deliver gas to customers). The DBNGP pipeline is 660mm-diameter.

The pipeline has been in continuous operation since 1984. For more than forty years the DBNGP has reliably and safely delivered vast quantities of clean-burning natural gas to customers throughout  WA. The DBNGP has had and continues to have enormous impact on WA and its people. It forms the backbone of the WA economy.
