    Stephen Dykes Managing Director Gemseekers International Pty Ltd and Henry Dupal Operations Manager, Northern Territory APA Group THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE AMADEUS PIPELINE TO THE NORTHERN TERRITORY AND TO THE AUSTRALIAN PIPELINE INDUSTRY By Stephen Dykes (Gemseekers International Pty Ltd) and Henry Dupal (APA Group) The growth in power consumption in the Northern Territory (NT) since self-government in 1978 drove the need for constant vigilance on future capacity requirements. In 1980, studies drove a decision to build a coal power station based on the fact that there were no significant energy sources apart from uranium at Ranger and a need for relatively small scale generation precluded the use of nuclear power. Stokes Hill power house was aged, was only 400 metres from Darwin Central Business District and was a heavy polluter burning bunker oil. Gas had been considered but at this time insufficient reserves had been proven at Palm Valley (50 PJ versus an economic requirement of about 250 PJ), gas reserves at Mereenie were considered unavailable as it would be used for reservoir pressure maintenance to recover the oil until about 2000 and industrial disputes and the costs of imported pipe, materials and skills drove estimates for pipeline construction to be more than the coal option. Offshore reserves at Petrel were known but development was thought to be contingent upon an LNG facility and current prices were assumed unable to meet the economic hurdle for such a decision until the mid-1990’s1. By 1983, the coal decision was well advanced, coal would be shipped from eastern States, and a plan for the Darwin electricity system to be extended to Katherine and Jabiru were under consideration.
