The company developing the $800 million gas pipeline that would link Tennant Creek and Mt Isa has terminated its construction deal three weeks after announcing delays resulting from land access problems.

A spokesman for Jemena said the company had "reviewed arrangements" with contractor McConnell Dowell and determined they "will not meet the needs of the project" that was originally set to start construction in April.

"This means Jemena will shortly look to appoint construction partners through a competitive tender process," the spokesman said.

McConnell Dowell was contracted to build the 622-kilometre Northern Gas Pipeline as well as two compressor stations and gas treatment facilities.
