THE OTHER ROUTE IS UNDER SEA TO FOGG BAY AND OVERLAND TO MIDDLE ARM IN MUCH THE SAME WAY AS THE AMADEUS BASIN TO DARWIN PIPELINE.

THE LIQUID HYDROCARBONS WILL BE FURTHER PROCESSED TO PRODUCE A RANGE OF OTHER PRODUCTS - SUCH AS PROPANE, BUTANE AND STABILISED CONDENSATE - WHICH WILL BE STORED ON SITE FOR EXPORT. THE MAIN FEED GAS WILL PRIMARILY BE TREATED TO REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE AND OTHER SULPHUR COMPOUNDS,
