• Key facilities connected to the pipeline.
• Technical and physical characteristics of the pipelines.

The RCWP is a non-scheme pipeline.

It has been granted an exemption from reporting requirements under Part 10 of the National Gas Rules as it is a single shipper pipeline.

The following standard services are offered on the RCWP, subject to available capacity:

• Firm Transport
• Interruptible Transport
• In Pipe Trade
• Operational Capacity Transfer
• Park & Loan services are available on other pipelines comprising APA’s east coast gas grid and may be contracted in conjunction with RCWP services under a multi-asset gas transportation agreement, subject to available capacity and in accordance with relevant service rules.

A description of these services, including APA's Standard Gas Transportation Agreement (SGTA) can be found on the gas transmission services page.

Non-standard services may be available by negotiation.

Notes on services

Firm services are available over varying terms as set out on the gas transmission services page.

New shippers on this pipeline may require a connection agreement.

Interruptible services are only available while the pipeline is fully contracted in respect of the corresponding firm service.

APA is progressively rolling out in pipe trade and operational capacity transfer service capability on all key pipelines. APA will prioritise this service rollout in accordance with shipper demand.
