The Condamine to Braemar Pipeline (also known as the Braemar pipeline or the Braemar Linepack Connection) is a transmission pipeline located in southeast Queensland. The pipeline is owned and operated by Alinta Energy.
The pipeline is approximately 150km in length, and has a diameter of 406.4 mm.
The Condamine to Braemar Pipeline connects Alinta Energy’s Braemar power station to the APA Group’s compressor station at Condamine.

Construction on the pipeline was completed in March 2006.
| Classification of Pipeline | Transmission |
| Nameplate rating | 120TJ/d |
| Receipt points (and key facilities to which they connect) | Tipton Daandine Windibri B1PL-B2PL interconnect |
| Delivery points (and key facilities to which they connect) | Condamine RBP Braemar Power Station (See diagram 1.1 below) |
| Technical or physical characteristics which may affect access, use or price of the services | Firm flows available to condamine RBP are dependant on compressor performance, temperatures & BBPL/RBP Pipeline pressures. 2 Compressors are available to flow gas to Condamine, but one is designed as backup. |
| Any policies of the service provider which may affect access to, use or price for services (e.g. queuing requirements, receipt or delivery point change policy, metering and measurement policy) | Please refer to terms in our Standard Gas Transportation Agreement and User Access Guide. Braemar User Access Guide including interconnection policy and agreement |

| List of pipeline services including: a description of each service and locational limits priority ranking of the service in relation to other pipeline services including when scheduling and in the event of curtailment | Firm forwardhaul (delivery to Condamine RBP). The only available pipeline service is a Firm Forward Haulage Service. This is defined in the Standard Gas Transportation Agreement as a gas transportation Service in the Pipeline in the forward direction from the Receipt Point to the Delivery Point, subject to Curtailment. This service may be curtailed pursuant to clause 19.1 of the standard GTA, including to enable as necessary for power station start-up and other requirements at the Braemar power station site or of the Alinta Group. |
