Pipeline repair: status update Media Release 19 September 2017 12.30pm

The pipe repair activities continue to progress well, despite the inclement weather we have had here overnight.

In parallel, we have also made good progress on a jet truck-loading option at the refinery. We have fabricated a solution that we believe is workable, subject to product quality and safety reviews today from the relevant stakeholders.

We remain on track to deliver jet fuel into Wiri between midday Sunday the 24th and midday Tuesday the 26th. Settling, recertification and transport to the airport for use takes another 30 hours.

ENDS
