It is owned by Australian Gas Networks (formerly Envestra) and operated by the APA Group.
The pipeline was built in 1995 by South Australian Gas Company and transferred to Envestra when it was privatised in 1997.
Most of the pipe is buried to a depth of 600–900 millimetres (24–35 in) but it is deeper and has thicker walls in areas of high risk such as under road crossings.
The main pipeline runs from Angaston to Berri in the Riverland with a lateral supply line branching near Sedan to Murray Bridge.
[1] The Riverland Pipeline was covered by the NGL under the Gas Code until 1999, but has not been subject to that regulation since 1999.
