The lateral connects to the Bonaparte Gas Pipeline and is used to supply the Wadeye Power Station. The pipelines are owned by Energy Infrastructure Investments (EII) and are operated by the APA Group. The APA Group has a 19.9 percent interest in Energy Infrastructure Investments, while Marubini holds 49.9 percent interest and Osaka Gas holds 30.2 percent interest.
