Burrup Peninsula was named after Mount Burrup in 1979 by Woodside Petroleum Pty Ltd during the planning stage of the North West Shelf Gas Project, whose onshore operations are located on the peninsula.
Mount Burrup was named by the government surveyor FS Brockman after Henry Wood Burrup, one of two men mysteriously murdered at the union bank in Roebourne in 1885.
The Northwest Shelf Gas Project is the largest resource project ever undertaken in Australia. Gas is drilled at an offshore platform 130 kilometres north of Dampier and piped to the onshore treatment plant on the Burrup Peninsula. From here the gas is carried in a 1,450 kilometre pipeline to domestic and industrial gas users in the south of the State.
