t-rex cafe is a prehistoric themed restaurant that includes a gift shop , along with animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar .

t-rex cafe has differently-themed restaurant sections , such as prehistoric insects ( which includes enlarged animatronic insects ) , ice age ( which includes ice caves and animatronic mammoths ) , and under the sea ( complete with jellyfish ceiling and large aquarium ) .

in the dinosaur-themed area , a gift shop allows customers to " build-a-dino " , which is provided by build-a-bear workshop , who works in partnership with t-rex .

t-rex cafe is owned by landry 's , inc. , which started back in 1980 in katy , texas .

landry 's went private in 2010 when tilman fertitta , the ceo of landry 's and a large shareholder , made an offer to buy all shares .

landry 's is no longer traded on the nyse .

the first t-rex cafe restaurant opened in the legends outlets kansas city in kansas city , kansas , followed by the opening of another at disney springs ( formerly downtown disney ) in walt disney world resort , orlando , florida on october 17 , 2008 .

( it appears to have been themed around the rite of spring segment of fantasia . ) it features tyrannosaurus rex , apatosaurus , albertosaurus , triceratops , mammoths , stegosaurus , parasaurolophus , arthropleura , pterosaurs ( including pteranodon and rhamphorhynchus ) , sea jellies , large insect models , alongside a pachycephalosaurus , 13-foot wide octopus , and 2 fish tanks .

there is a 2-min .

meteor shower with various sized asteroids , and the ice cave turns from a blue or purple-pink color to orange to give the feeling it is melting , and all animals hoot , roar , and go berserk .

t-rex has a fossil dig in which kids can uncover a t-rex or find their own fossils to keep and/or split a geode open .

they have interactive touch screens that have games , toon clips , and things to learn about several of the creatures at the restaurant .

outside there is an argentinosaurus skeleton and on the other side a parasaurolophus sits in a pond fed by a waterfall with some plants by it .

the restaurant looks like a forest with snowy mountains in the middle .

watched most of the warriors playoffs at t - rex . great bbq , loved the happy hour menu . nice drinks , awesome service . i give t - rex a thumbs up !

t - rex may be on disney property but it is not your typical resort restaurant . the portions are large , the food is well prepared , the wait staff is courteous and professional . if you are visiting downtown disney try out the t - rex restaurant . they have menus for people of all ages .

estaurant on disney property . for the haters on price head to applebees off property , there you are not paying for the show and amazing service . t rex is not a disney restaurant

we have eaten many times at t - rex . this was by far the best service we ' ve ever had .

t - rex restaurant features a bar area and televisions for guests to view the latest game . it has a happy hour with specials throughout the week . this eatery also offers brunch on saturdays and sundays .

t - rex looks like a must do , at least once to me . i have to agree about the pics—they’re wonderful . graet job and thanks .

the new t - rex restaurant at downtown disney near orlando , florida . scenes of several of the animatronic creatures and the decor of the themed areas . it wasn ' t until after i had been walking around for a good ten minutes before an employee approached me and asked me not to video tape . but since they didn ' t ask me to discard what i already have or not to post it , here it is !

i am planning to dine at this restaurant at noon times ( between 12 : 00 - 16 : 00 ) - is it possible to dine in this restaurant without making prior reservation ( e . g by waiting or by asking to sit on the bar ) ? .

lots of t shirts , key chains , etc . to take home with you .

this restaurant opened at downtown disney ( dtd ) at walt disney world in florida on october 14 th . this restaurant has a prime location in dtd . it is the first thing you see when you pull into the parking lot . it is located near mcdonald’s and fulton’s .

sandwiches served with house - made bbq chips . sub fries for $ 1 . add cheese : blue , swiss , white cheddar - $ 1 , add avocado $ 1 , add t - rex bacon or guacamole $ 2

when you have a reservation here , you have to come early . we came 8 . 50 pm , had a reservation for 9 pm , but didn ` t get a table before 9 . 20 pm . because this is a huge restaurant , but we didn ` t know that . i was still impressed by . . .

t - rex cafe takes you on a prehistoric adventure you’ll want to share with the entire family ! enjoy face - to - face encounters with life - sized dinosaurs , hands - on educational activities , delectable food and phenomenal retail .

always a good time at t - rex . great waitress with excellent service . the food can be hit or miss so you need to watch what you get . my wife ' s mushroom ravioli was very good . my chicken sandwich not so great .

we recently tried the food at the t - rex cafe at disney springs and were disappointed . we decided to stop in for a midweek lunch and while the dino themed decor was fun , the food was not good and way overpriced . we stayed and had lunch . . .

you check in at a podium outside and then when your “expedition” party is announced you are directed inside . of course with everything at disney there is a gift shop inside the restaurant .

poor service and reheated ribs . . . i traveled a long way for this ? i won ' t return .

your trust is our top concern , so businesses can ' t pay to alter or remove their reviews . learn more .

we went to t - rex for brunch on mother ' s day and it was very good - - - especially the cornmeal pancakes . wait staff was very attentive . next time w ' er going for dinner and the bbq , which smelled delicious . and we ' re also looking forward to the housemade bbq chips .

we couldn ' t find you quickly enough ! try again later , or search near a city , place , or address instead .

i was actually so pleasantly surprised by this restaurant . it ' s downtown disney and it is everything dinosaur with aquariums everywhere , i expected this restaurant to over charge you for semi - decent ( if even that ) food . to my surprise , my meal was actually excellent ! i ordered from their seasonal / special menu and got their lomo saltado and it was so good ! i love lomo saltado so i already had high expectations that they did not disappoint . it is soy sauce based compared to other places but it was still so good . i went with a group of ladies and all of their meals looked awesome as well . t - rex got the theme and food down pack - which can be hard to do . kudos to them !

i would definitely recommend t - rex to anyone who loves smoked meat . you can smell the smoker from across the street ! i got half the smoked chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes . my husband got the smoked brisket , mac and cheese with bacon and caesar salad . the smoked meats were the highlight of the meal .

t - rex was one of our favorite restaurants , but over the last several years has faded in quality . we have gone back several times over the last year and each time with mixed results , our last visit however was definitely subpar . the cheeseburger was served on a bun that quickly fell apart , the burger did not taste good , and at $ 15 . was in our view overpriced . my wife said that her salmon sandwich had not enough salmon to fill most of the bun . we are writing this critical review because we hope that t - rex will return to an excellent everyday dining experience . but for now we need to express our disappointment .

didn ' t eat any of the food . steak was horrible , no taste to potatoes . didnt pay for meal , went somewhere else .

this restaurant is really loud ! food is good but overpriced ; but then most things in this part of the world are overpriced . dinosaur themed atmosphere is amazing . . . the kids will love it . definitely worth a visit .

this was a horrible dining experience . the service was slow and inattentive . the food was mediocre at best . the " lean " brisket was extremely fatty . the coleslaw might have been stolen from kfc . we waited 20 minutes for the bill only to be told that the restaurant ' s computer system had crashed and that we needed to wait longer . after another 20 minutes we were allowed to leave after promising to mail a check once the restaurant could generate a bill . two days later we received a bill ( which we paid ) . there are many restaurants with way better bbq and far better service . don ' t go here !

i took my grandson and daughter to disney to celebrate his birthday . like most 7 year olds , he loves dinosaurs , so what a better place to go . the theming is spot - on , who amongst us doesn ' t love being greeted by a big roaring t - rex ? it was so cool . . . . . literally , they have an ice cave inside . the food was good , just what you would expect at a kid / family oriented place . we shared the chicken nachos , which were huge . . . grandson had the chicken nuggets , dino shaped of course . the staff was very friendly and never left us wanting for anything . i can ' t wait to go back .

this looks like a fun place to dine…i wouldn’t expect anything from the food , though . that way , if it’s any good , i can be pleasantly surprised .

we came to trex for my girlfriends fathers birthday and when we came inside we were very surprised with all the detail done to this restaurant with all the different dinosaurs and lighting . . the ribs were the best ! ! ! fall off the bone , perfectly seasoned and cooked . . the . . .

we tried t rex for brunch , having enjoyed the bbq there on many occasions . reserved on open table , but the hosts could find no record of it . putting diplomacy skills to work , the hosts rattled off names of other reserved parties , as if to suggest i ' d forgotten my name when booking . neither were they persuaded by the confirmation email i pulled up on my phone . i mentioned that , oddly enough , this reservation glitch happened once before but the hosts insisted they never ever had a problem . in the end , they granted us seating in a restaurant that was more than half empty with no other parties waiting for a table . once seated , the waiter admitted in a hushed voice that t rex has had problems with the open table reservations system . he asked us to report the problem to open table & copy them on the email . i think i would ' ve been willing to help troubleshoot had the hosts made an effort to make us feel at all welcome , or had the food been better . on to the food . the waiter recommended crab cakes benedict with poached eggs served on a bed of spinach . also ordered : chicken wings w / waffles & two eggs any style . while the eggs in the benedict order were nicely poached , the crab cakes were greasy on the outside and slimy inside . the presentation skimped on both hollandaise and spinach . this dish ordinarily comes with home fries & i asked to substitute whole wheat toast . what i got were pale , limp french fries . to the waiter ' s credit , he recognized the error and put in the toast order . a few minutes later , i was served white toast . wheat toast was again requested and produced on the 3rd try . the chicken wings were good ; the waffle woefully undercooked , doughy and limp . brown sugar kitchen has nothing to fear from t rex here . it ' s hard to go wrong with two eggs any style , especially when your ' style ' is scrambled , so no point deduction on that part of the order , but you can get two eggs almost anywhere . bottom line : t rex is good for bbq , but go elsewhere for brunch .

. sure , it is busy , noisy , and a bit kitschy , but that all is to be expected in disney springs . what i can ' t get enough of is the staff ! i have

food was good . service was excellent . the only thing i didn ' t like was that they took it upon themselves to write in a 22 % tip on the charge slip . because of the great service , i probably would have given them a little bit more , but i just didn ' t like the idea of them adding the tip . fyi , i used a passport card which says they can add an 18 % tip , but why 22 % ? usually a restaurant would add the tip to the food receipt , not the charge slip , which i should fill out and sign . oh well . like i said , the food is good . the nachos platter is huge and great for lunch . we ' ll give them another chance .

had the spinach and beet salad which was very good . the brussel sprouts side dish is good but would be better if they didn ' t steam the sprouts . probably should have pan fried and tossed them .

we didn ' t have a reservation . it seems if you go on a weekday the line is short . we waited 15 min . i heard them say on the weekends it can be a 3 hour wait .

people complain about the cost but my family had a blast ! ! ! what isn’t expensive these days . i had a wiser than me older fellow tell me if you have the money just enjoy it because life is short and

we came here because my nephew loves dinosaurs . it ' s great that they have an area for the kids to play while waiting but it seemed like we waited a lot longer than the wait time we were given . when we were seated , the restaurant was dark and loud so it was hard to have a conversation while we ate . it also took a long time to get our food . granted , we did have a large party but the food took wayyyyyyy too long . the wait staff also forgot to bring our appetizer and the dessert took so long that we ended up just telling them to pack it up to go . it ' s definitely cool if you have kids that like dinosaurs because they ' ll love how the restaurant looks and having the dinosaurs all around . but i wouldn ' t recommend it for little toddlers because between the wait to get seated and the wait to get our food , the toddlers were hangry buy the time the food came .

t - rex is an interesting place . it ' s made for kids and families . there are several sections and we sat in one with mammoths and other dinosaurs . every 15 min or so , the lights go out and the animatronics move and lights flash . my kid was a bit afraid of it , but it didn ' t seem to bother most . the food is something you ' ll find at like a chili ' s or applebees . burgers , salads , fish , ribs , etc . i got the rack of ribs which was okay . they were tender and fell off the bone . sauce was on the sweeter side . didn ' t care too much for the slaw , but decent . the server was nice and even gave my kid a cupcake when she found out it was her birthday . place is really busy , but the line moved fairly quickly . get a reservation if you must eat here , but we did standby and it was probably a 20 - 30 minute wait for a party of 3 .

quite an interesting décor disney springs offers so much , and even late the area was full of people . we headed to t - rex café , expecting a long wait even so late in the evening . there was a wait , only 40 minutes , but there was also a sign that they have open seating at the bar . although we were six , my wife has a knack of coming up with solutions and we found ourselves sitting together along the bar . the décor in the entire restaurant , including at the bar , was fantastic . we sat under a giant octopus and enjoyed watching a beautiful saltwater fish tank . i ' m sure tons of reviews describe the interior , so i won ' t struggle to come up with my own attempt to describe it again . on to the food . i had something called a triassic trio , and it was quite a trio . it was a char - grilled steak , a skewer of shrimp , and a dish of shrimp and scallops in a chimichurri sauce . the shrimp and scallop dish was superb , i absolutely loved the flavor of the sauce . the skewer of shrimp , which included pieces of onion and other usual skewer items , was also great . as for the steak , not as great but still fine . when i eat steak , which is seldom , i usually go for sirloin or ribeye , the more flavorful cuts . of course , this steak lacked flavor to me , and it wasn ' t that tender even though i got it rare . the dish also came with a good amount of wild raptor rice . i thought the busy bartender did a good job taking care of us . the food was a little slow . a few of us ordered appetizers as their meal and they came out first , followed by the entrees several minutes later . would have preferred everything to arrive at the same time . it was a good 30 minute wait for the entrees from the time we ordered . don ' t know if the order was staggered on purpose , which would be unfortunate , or it just worked out that way . i don ' t think a visit to orlando is complete without dining at one of these restaurant ' attractions ' . we were glad we experienced dining with dinosaurs .

guess we were just a number to them . we got the bill and was waiting to pay when employees came out and sang happy birthday to another kid and gave him dessert . my girl didn’t get a 🎶 or anything . very disappoint

sides were good ; popular with the kids = 4 teenagers . since t . rex is a bbq joint , i was disappointed with the meat . it tended to be dry , not juicy . we ordered all the meats from smoker and seemed like they gave us meats that were sitting on the grill for longer than needed . that ' s why i wouldn ' t recommend it as a bbq place . service was spotty because we had to keep asking for stuff : no dishes & place settings when we arrived so had to ask for plates ; had to ask for bbq sauce ; had to ask for more napkins . at one point i had to get up and go to another table to get silverware . . . not a great message since i was charged a tip in advance because our group was 9 . don ' t think i would recommend this place to foodies like myself . finally , i was miffed about open table not allowing me to reserve a table for 7 pm that day . we were there from 6 - 8 : 30 pm and the whole upper floor was empty the whole time we were there . so , clearly there were tables / reservations available at 7 pm for our large group . not going to make reservations thru open table anymore . this has happened to me more than once and i don ' t want to put my dining dollars thru open table reservations anymore . . . .

we made a brunch reservation for a group of 10 for my birthday . we were the first to arrive at the restaurant when it opened and were seated right away . the experience went downhill from there . our waitress has a horrible attitude from the start , she made it seem like she was doing us a favor waiting on our table and i saw several eye rolls . she seemed inexperienced and i understand serving a large table can be daunting but it ' s part of your job in food service and customers shouldn ' t be able to tell you are overwhelmed or annoyed . after sitting for 10 minutes we still hadn ' t received our waters . i had to leave to table to ask to be given our water and drinks . i wasn ' t given my drink until close to the end of my meal which came out wrong . my husband ' s side dish was cold . i care too much about working people and sympathize too much with how it is to work a hard service job to not tip so i tipped the waitress above what her poor attitude and even worse service deserved . the food overall was not good . i cook better food at home . the fried chicken was burnt , ribs were dry , bread was stale . if it wasn ' t for the beautiful weather and the hike i had planned for the rest of the day this brunch could have seriously ruined my special day . i will never come back to this place . poor service , mediocre ( at best ) food .

you’re really going here & paying for the atmosphere & the experience . wouldn’t rave about the food . i had the meteor meatloaf . it was uncooked in the center because it’s really a round ball rather than a loaf . the drinks are way overpriced and way . . .

this place is so cool ! i remember visiting here about 10 years ago and thinking to myself “i can’t wait until i have kids and can bring them here . ” when planning our 10 day disney trip this was the first table service meal we had ! . . .

i had the ribs - they were overcooked and then covered with sauce to hide the fact . everything else was just fine . the potato salad , beans , and caesar salad were all good . service was a bit erratic , especially since things weren ' t very busy .

my personal favorite for the rooms was the ice room . i don’t know if you can ask for different rooms but i would enjoy this one . all the rooms have lots to look at so it should keep everyone busy while they are dining . be sure to bring your camera .

booked a table for brunch on mother ' s day , thinking we were going to get some good southern cooking . instead , we found a mostly empty restaurant that should have been able to provide wonderful service and food . yet , it took almost 10 minutes before a server came to our table to greet us and take a drink order . . . despite walking by our table a half dozen times . we ordered food and the food took almost 40 minutes to get to the table - again , the restaurant was not even half full . my order of biscuits and " beef brisket " gravy was awful . the biscuits were cold and the gravy seemed like it was made from a powder packet - there were no chunks of beef brisket , not even a sign of brisket in the luke warm white glaze . my wife ' s cornmeal pancakes were a disappointment , and the kids split a " banana battered french toast " that was anything but battered ( it looked more like re - heated frozen french toast from a box ) . even my coffee wasn ' t served hot . truly a disappointment on mother ' s day . we live in the neighborhood , and will not be back for a second visit .

the t - rex cafe is what you get if you take rainforest cafe and change all the gimmicks to cretaceous era dino ' s just before the meteor strike that wiped them out . for fun , every 20 minutes or so the entire place comes to life as though its actually happening again . people into dinosaurs will probably eat this up . for dinner i had the absurdly huge doublesaurus burger which was pretty decent . the waffle fries were a bit disappointing but the burger made up for it . to drink i had the lava flow which is basically a piña colada with strawberries on top . i highly recommend this adult beverage . overall the big drawback here is the big prices , but it is disney springs so you aren ' t really going to get anything on the cheap . i ' m not entirely sure i would come back , but if you are in the area and a member of you or a member of your family is into dinosaurs it really is likely to be an awesome experience for them .

kathy , thanks for posting such wonderful photos . i think my 9 year old son would love to eat there – and we will be there next june . your comment indicates they are going to accept reservations , which really surprises me since the rainforest at dtd doesn’t take them . but , i hope they do – i refuse to wait hours for mediocre food . lol

this establishment makes good cocktails and the food is adequate . most entrees are too big to finish so it ' s definitely two meals worth of food . in all honesty , i ' ve had better bbq , but there ' s isn ' t bad . my friend ordered her burger medium rare and it was delivered well - done making it dry and difficult to choke down .

if your a carnivore this is the place for you . the bronco burger is huge and juicy and fred flinstone would be proud of you if you ate here and the ribs are delish ! the atmosphere is quite cave like with dino ' s every where the kidos will love it and don ' t forget to visit the gift shop . prices are a little high but you are at disney and yolo !

this is comparable to the rain forest cafe but instead of jungle animals you are surrounded by dinosaurs . very cool atmosphere and the kids absolutely love it . a little on the pricey side since you are in disney and you are going to pay those prices but it is worth it if you have never tried . i suggest you make a reservation otherwise you are in for a long wait based on the popularity of this restaurant . the food is average and you are only really going here for the entertainment value and not the food . when we make our trip back to disney next summer this will definitely be on our itinerary when we go to downtown disney !

certainly one of the best dinosaur restaurants . an animated dinosaur begged for dinner scraps the whole meal . the kids were terrified of the 3 ' bug , but it didn ' t hurt anyone while we were there at least . the kids loved it . there are several places to eat inside so if managed to make reservations back in the ice age , try eating in the ice cave . someone in line said they tried for two months to get reservations here . i guess we got lucky . very cool mood with great food and creative drinks .

i had passed this interesting looking restaurant many times and thought i looked like a fun place to celebrate . the menu looked interesting and there was a trendy industrial look . however , the waitperson introduced herself by explaining how tired and out of it she was , so that if she forgot to bring the birthday dessert , we should remind her . we ordered a bottle of champagne , a full rack of ribs and some sides . i asked for water 3 times . when the salad came , it had not been dressed . it took 20 minutes . when the ribs came , they were dry and crisply overcooked . the 4 asparagus spears were tasty but meager . the waitperson was not around to order wine from , as we had only ordered a half bottle of champagne . we were told each time someone passed , how short staffed they were on that saturday night . we had to find her for the dessert and check as there was an event we were attending nearby . the pecan pie came after a long wait , served with 2 spoons . it was so dry it shattered when i finally got my spoon into this thing . overall , extremely extremely disappointing for a 65th celebration . next time we will go to e & j for ribs that will tenderly fall off the bone . feh .

this place is expensive . but this place is also delicious and a really cool experience , especially if you have kids ! ! my advice would be to put your name in as soon as you arrive to disney springs to avoid an absolutely ridiculous wait . there ' s also an option to make a reservation but i ' m not sure how . anyway on the fun stuff ! our waiter was very friendly and attentive even though the places was packed . everyone ' s food was delicious and came out without a problem . i ordered the lemon salmon over pasta , this was over a week ago and i ' m still thinking about it . salmon was flaky and nicely seasoned , veggies still had a nice bite , and the sauce was somehow rich and light at the same time . the light show ( asteroids ) and dinosaurs were really cool , my son couldn ' t stop looking around at the sights . there are differently themed rooms around the place , like an icey tundra and underwater . all are fantastic with aquariums and dinos in each room . there ' s also a boneyard ( sandpit ) for kids to ' find ' dino bones . we come here for a bit even when not eating here because it ' s covered and usually not too packed ! in summary there ' s cheaper places to eat but if you ' re going whole hog for the disney experience this is the place to do it !

i arrived about 4 : 20 pm and was amazed to see so many people standing outside .

there is a fenced area where the kids can play in the sand and find some bones . with the crowd outside it was hard to find the area but it is to the right of where the safari car is located .

there is also a build a dino shop in the back where you can create your own dino .

it’s like finding your own artifacts right on the table . the kids should love it with all the dinosaurs .

they do move and roar . they have signs by them to indicate what type of dinosaur they are so you could use it as a learning exercise .

kathy , i love the pix you include in your entries . as they say , a pix is worth…

this place looks like a lot of fun . if i ever get to wdw with my dnephews , i’d definitely take them there .

great job kathy ! you really reviewed it well . the ice room is the best room in my opinion as well . have you eaten there since the review ? what’d you think ?

the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) is the longest natural gas pipeline in australia .

it is 660 mm in diameter , which also makes it one of australia 's largest in terms of transmission capacity .

at the time of its commissioning in 1984 , it was one of the longest gas pipelines in the world .

the pipeline runs from a point near withnell bay , on the burrup peninsula near dampier , to bunbury in the south-west of the state .

it carries natural gas , most of which enters the pipeline at the domestic gas plant associated with the north west shelf venture project .

the other main inlet point is approximately 135 km south of dampier , where one of the sales gas pipelines from varanus island connects with the dbngp .

in june 2008 , following a pipeline rupture and explosion at the varanus island facility , the dbngp carried additional volumes of gas from the north west shelf plant to the south-west of the state , for a period of several months .

see : 2008 western australian gas crisis as a single trunkline it is 1530 km long , extending from the burrup peninsula in the pilbara region , to bunbury in the south west of western australia .

it supplies gas to industrial , commercial and residential customers in perth and major regional centres along the pipeline route .

it is covered by western australian pipeline license pl-40 .

a number of lateral pipelines are connected to this pipeline , most of which are covered by separate licenses , although pl-40 itself covers the main trunkline and some laterals totalling a length of 1789 km .

dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline

dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline <EOT> a chinese company has made a bid for the dampier - bunbury gas pipeline .

the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) is one of the largest capacity natural gas pipelines in australia supplying natural gas to industrial , commercial and residential customers in perth and major regional centres along the pipeline route .

the owner of the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline has announced further expansion plans after receiving additional firm capacity requests from existing and prospective users of the pipeline .

dbp transmission ( dbp ) , the owner and operator of the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) has announced practical completion of the stage 5b expansion project .

the owner of the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline anticipates construction work as part of the next stage of its $ 700 million expansion plans , will begin early next year .

extending almost 1 , 600 km from the pilbara region to the southwest of western australia , the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline is an essential piece of gas infrastructure , supplying 90 per cent of the demand for gas in the region .

dbp is the owner and operator of the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) , western australia’s most important piece of energy infrastructure . it has been in continuous operation since 1984 .

the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) is the longest natural gas pipeline in australia and runs entirely underground . it was commissioned in 1984 following three years of planning and construction . the dbngp is currently operated by dbngp ( wa ) transmission pty limited and trades as dbp . dbp is part of the australian gas infrastructure group .

“the dampier to bunbury pipeline is already a privately owned asset and a critical piece of infrastructure that is independently regulated , ” mr barnett said yesterday .

after almost three years in planning , construction on the pipeline was launched in 1982 . natural gas was introduced into the pipeline in 1984 when the first stage stretching from dampier to kwinana junction was commissioned with throughput of about 240 tj / d . in 1985 the pipeline was extended to bunbury .

it comes as no surprise then that pipeline owner dampier bunbury pipeline ( dbp ) has expanded the pipeline’s capacity twice since it , acquired the pipeline in 2004 and has recently obtained necessary financing and equity commitments for an additional expansion .

duet , owner of the dampier to bunbury gas pipeline and other national energy assets , said yesterday hong kong billionaire li ka - shing’s cheung kong infrastructure had lobbed the takeover bid .

the owner of the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline has opted for a staged capacity expansion , fuelling speculation that planned expansion projects at alcoa ' s wagerup alumina refinery and bhp billiton ' s worsley alumina refinery will be deferred .

this report , published as bulletin 1153 , provides the environmental protection authority ' s ( epa ' s ) advice to the minister for the environment on the strategic assessment of the concept by the gas pipeline sale steering committee ( gpssc ) to expand the existing dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) corridor between kwinana and the kemerton industrial estate .

the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) is a transmission pipeline owned and operated by dampier bunbury pipeline ( dbp ) . dbp is a part of the australian gas infrastructure group ( agig ) . agig is owned by various consortia of hong kong - based entities listed on the hong kong stock exchange . the consortia include ck asset holdings ltd ( cka ) , ck infrastructure holdings ltd ( cki ) , power assets holdings ltd ( pah ) and ck hutchison holdings ltd ( ckh )

on 31 december 2014 , dbngp ( wa ) transmission pty ltd ( dbp ) submitted proposed revisions to the access arrangement for the dampier to bunbury natural gas pipeline ( dbngp ) . the era published an issues paper on 20 april 2015 , and received six submissions from interested parties in response .

around 500 bc , the chinese formed crude pipelines out of bamboo shoots to transport natural gas from natural seeps to boil sea water , separating the salt and making it palatable .

in april 1961 , 140 years after the fredonia well , natural gas supply to the roma , queensland powerhouse commenced . this was the first time in australia that natural gas had been used to fuel electricity generation .

both natural gas and the pipeline play an important role in the state’s economy , providing the energy many major mining and resources customers need to power their operations . manufacturing and minerals processing industries are also underpinned by energy produced from natural gas .

this has built more than 45 years of experience in commercial large - scale natural gas production .

natural gas was formed in the earliest prehistory of our planet , during the jurassic period and earlier eras .

in fact , wa is the most energy and gas - dependent economy in australia with natural gas supplying more than half of wa’s primary energy needs .

find out how to become registered in the specific area of practice of oil and gas pipeline enginering .

so , after 3000 years of natural gas , people continue to use ingenuity and experience to tap this valuable resource to warm homes , cook meals and drive industry .

exploration and development to keep these pipelines full and meet the demand for natural gas continues , building on the decades of industry experience .

the first well drilled for producing natural gas was completed in fredonia , new york in 1821 , 193 years ago .

as well as funding the pipeline project , secwa was the foundation contract for the new supply of natural gas . secwa entered into a long term contract with the north west shelf partners to purchase fixed volumes of gas . the pipeline was also developed with the support of alcoa as its initial cornerstone customer .

at the same time , lng producers continue to commit to 20 - 25 year contracts to export wa gas to overseas customers .

following the recent pipeline rupture at apache energy’s varanus island facilities , cutting western australia’s gas supply by 30 per cent , there has been speculation about the need for a second major gas pipeline in the state .

gas contributes up to 50 per cent of western australia’s primary energy use and fuels up 60 per cent of the state’s electricity generation capacity . the dbngp is the only natural gas pipeline connecting the carnarvon basin on western australia’s north west shelf with perth and the surrounding region .

the dbngp was constructed by the state energy commission ( secwa ) to transport gas from the north west shelf gas fields near dampier to customers in the south - west of wa . construction began in 1982 and was completed in 1985 with the pipeline being extended to bunbury . the secwa as well as funding the construction of the pipeline also had the foundation contract for the supply of gas . the dbngp was also developed with the support of alcoa as its initial cornerstone customer . in 1998 , as part of the privatisation of the secwa the dbngp was sold to epic energy .

the pipeline’s capacity has increased since 2005 by over 50 % to meet gas demand in the south west and pilbara regions of western australia .

one terajoule is enough gas to supply an average home for about 50 years .

the pipeline is expected to be in service for at least the next 50 years .

prices are now two to three times the price of new gas in victoria . business and households face sharply rising gas and electricity prices .

after reviewing the wa’s future gas needs , the state government agreed to fund the building of a gas transmission pipeline that connected the gas fields in the state’s north with customers in the south - west . other methods of transporting gas from the north west gas fields such as road tanker , rail and ship were considered , but it was deemed that a pipeline offered the most efficient , economical , safe and environmentally acceptable means of transport .

established in 1984 , the pipeline is responsible for supplying domestic gas from north west projects to homes and businesses in perth and the south west .

australian pipelines and gas association chief executive cheryl cartwright said foreign investment was not unusual in australia , including the pipeline industry .

dbp bought the pipeline from epic energy in october 2004 , which had previously purchased the pipeline from the state government in 1998 . since

however arguments against this take into account the production challenges western australia faces in regards to the supply of natural gas , as well as the ability for the dbngp system to continue expanding through the progressive addition of further looping and compression .

the pipeline’s proximity to homes , parks and playgrounds also meant a great deal of engineering analysis was required to ensure community safety .

the discovery of large offshore reserves of natural gas in the north of wa by west australian petroleum pty ltd and woodside petroleum in 1975 was the very beginning of the dbngp story .

gas today is the best source of trusted business information for the australian gas industry . gas today comprises an eponymous quarterly magazine , a news website , the annual book australia ' s gas leaders , and a range of industry reference materials including an industry directory and maps .

shortly after that , australia started a major investment in bringing gas to city homes and industry .

“we will work with any infrastructure group or company that is interested in the future of australia’s gas and pipeline industries , ” ms cartwright said .

taking ownership , dbp has made expansion of the dbngp a key focus of the company , committing a total of $ 1 . 8 billion to expanding the pipeline’s gas haulage capacity to meet western australia’s growing demand . this equates to 125 per cent of the regulated value of the pipeline as at 2005 .

the mainline , loop and lateral pipes are buried to provide stability in gas transportation and protection from damage .

in may 2005 the dbp board approved a $ 430 million expansion program – known as the stage 4 expansion – comprising eight new compressors and over 200 km of looping . looping involves installing additional pipeline parallel to the existing pipeline and then connecting the new pipeline back into the existing pipeline . this expansion increased the pipeline’s capacity by over 100 terajoules per day ( tj / d ) and was completed on time and within budget in february 2007 .

“these projects were all carried out in response to customer requirements . they were planned and executed to ensure that gas was available when it was needed for those customers’ projects and dbp remains ready and able to meet the future gas transmission needs of the state . ”

“as a result of these three projects , the firm full haul capacity has been increased by more than 300 terajoules per day and around 85 per cent of the dbngp between the north west shelf and bunbury is now duplicated , effectively creating a second pipeline to further improve reliability of supply . ”

rbc capital markets analyst paul johnston said the wa pipeline was duet’s most politically sensitive asset .

the dbngp was a covered pipeline and regulated by the western australian office of gas access regulation ( offgar , now the economic regulatory authority ( era ) ) under the gas code . under the national gas access ( western australia ) regulations , the dbngp is classified as a ‘designated pipeline’ . this means that under the ngl ( ss . 109 and 111 ) the dbngp remains under full regulation and cannot be the subject of a light regulation determination .

however , cki has acquired majority stakes in electricity networks and gas distribution assets in four states .

jobs and investment are being lost interstate and overseas because of the state’s gas shortage and prices .

mr hohnen said “it could be said that the pipeline is the backbone of the booming western australia economy , the key to ongoing prosperity in this state . however we are functioning in a gas constrained environment and new supply is critical . ”

nominations are now open for the 2018 apga annual awards . the awards include the outstanding contribution to the australian pipeline industry award for individuals , the young…

at almost 1600 km , the pipeline is longer than the state of california ( 1 , 240 km ) .

natural gas has been recorded as a part of human history as early as 1000 bc when a goat herdsman noted a ‘burning spring’ on mount parnassus in ancient greece . i have seen similar burning seeps around kirkuk , iraq which locals assured me had been around as long as anyone could remember .

different aspects of the pipeline’s operations are regulated by the department of mines and petroleum , economic regulation authority and energy safety .

the tech drill looks at the science behind oil and gas operations and at how the petroleum industry uses innovation and cutting - edge technology to produce reliable energy .

the stage 5b expansion project has improved reliability and increased the pipeline’s firm full haul capacity by around 110 terajoules per day . construction commenced in early 2009 and predominantly involved looping , which is the installation of new pipe lengths parallel to the existing pipeline . stage 5b saw 440km of parallel pipe installed along the almost 1 , 600km length of the dbngp . the project also required upgrade works on the pipeline’s compressor station facilities .

dbp’s ceo stuart johnston said forecast total project expenditure to completion is estimated to not exceed $ 675m , as compared to the approved capital budget of $ 690m .

secwa operated the pipeline until its privatisation of sale in 1998 . in 2004 it was purchased by dbp . during dbp’s ownership , $ 1 . 7bn has been invested into the dbngp in meeting the energy needs of western australia , via separate expansion projects , stages 4 , 5a and 5b . as a result of these projects the pipeline capacity was increased by 60 % with the pipeline now being 83 % duplicated or “looped” .

the premier has defended his proposed sale of 51 per cent of western power by using the example of the pipeline sale as a good result .

“the completion of the project is also of major significance to the state , with the extra gas transmission capacity , and enhanced reliability of services crucial in ensuring continued economic growth in wa . ”

the state energy commission ( secwa ) was responsible for the project and it commenced engineering design in 1979 . at the time , the construction of the dbngp was the biggest infrastructure project wa had ever seen . as well as a lengthy design and feasibility process , the state government had to acquire rights to the land needed to house the new pipeline prior to construction . this land is now known as the dbngp corridor and remains state owned and managed today .

the stage 4 and 5 expansions will effectively duplicate approximately 90percent of the length of the dbngp . dbp says that this is a much faster and more cost effective approach to the delivery of new capacity than the construction of a second pipeline system , which it says would be heavily underutilised for many years – at high cost to users .

if you have a concern about your privacy , you have a right to make a complaint and we’ll do everything we can to put matters right .

the stage 5a expansion also involved negotiating some key challenges . these included major river crossings – including the robe , yannarie , minilya and the murchison – dune crossings , and confirming that the pipeline route was safe for construction and trenching through historical military ranges . an investigation was conducted that confirmed over 60 km of pipeline easement was free of unexploded bombs and devices left over from 40 - plus years of military target practice .

wa’s key piece of energy infrastructure could become foreign - owned under a $ 7 . 3 billion offer for duet group , raising further questions about premier colin barnett’s privatisation plans .

it was privatised by the court government in 1998 when mr barnett was energy minister for $ 2 . 4 billion .

federal treasurer scott morrison in august blocked bids by cki and china state grid corporation for electricity network ausgrid on national security grounds .

state opposition leader mark mcgowan , who opposes selling any of the electricity distributor , said : “this is just another example of a colin barnett privatisation gone wrong” . “it doesn’t matter what a politician may say about privatisation , once you sell the asset , the state loses control , ” mr mcgowan said .

duet described cki’s $ 3 - a - share offer as an “unsolicited , indicative , incomplete , non - binding and conditional proposal” .
