Here is the company that supplies most of the gas for the pipeline:

They have a short pipeline for their oil to transport it to Alice Springs, but from their it has to be trucked to the southern coast

"Oil and condensate is transported from the CTP via a 270 kilometre pipeline to the Brewer Estate facility at Alice Springs where it is stored and loaded onto trucks for shipment to Port Bonython and sale to customers."

The Beetaloo Basin is much closer to the North Coast, so any oil from there would probably go in that direction using the new rail line mentioned by Central Petroleum

"The drilling programme is, of course, subject to various operational contingencies and exploration results. Only one well (apart from the attempted drilling of a well in the Beetaloo Basin by Sweetpea Petroleum) has been drilled in the last fifteen years in this region due to the previous lack of infrastructure and relatively low oil prices until 2004 when both the oil price reached new highs and the Alice Springs to Darwin rail link was completed. There are significant logistical problems to overcome in relation to long range desert operations but the Group has found ways to reach solutions to any problems encountered thus far.

So in short, the infrastructure of the Beetaloo is somewhat less than desireable.

On the other hand, the infrastructure in Hungary is fantastic, and Hungary is the reason most of us are here.
