Is the Texas GulfLink project safe?
Yes, the entire Texas GulfLink project was developed, constructed, and will be monitored 24/7/365 by qualified, vetted engineers equipped with state-of-the-art control technology to uphold the highest standard of health, safety, and environmental concern.
Texas GulfLink commissioned numerous independent and third-party scientific, empirical studies for its license application to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) and United States Coast Guard (USCG) which included everything from soil tests to environmental impact studies.
Every organization that conducted a study for Texas GulfLink was completely independent from Texas GulfLink, and their findings have been submitted and presented to the many federal agencies Texas GulfLink was required to obtain approval from.
How do we know the pipeline will be safely built?
According to every test and study conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, pipelines continue to be our safest, most efficient method of transporting natural resources. There are over 2 million miles of active pipelines across the United States, all carefully regulated by state and federal safety standards to provide critical infrastructure for energy development.
The Texas GulfLink project is committed to the highest standard of safety of the community, its workers, and the surrounding environment during construction and operation of the pipeline. Our construction personnel and engineers are vetted, qualified American citizens who utilize the very latest industry and regulatory standards on the books, along with state-of-the-art technology that helps create a robust, safe, efficient, and clean operation.
What are the main benefits of this development?
The Texas GulfLink deepwater port will allow the United States to sell oil and allow producers and shippers in the United States to sell crude oil on the international market. This will translate to national growth in terms of GDP, as well as thousands of local and regional jobs, and millions in new revenue from markets that were previously untapped.
As with any new development of this scale, new industries will develop around the support of the Texas GulfLink Deepwater port that are not directly involved in the transportation of oil and gas to VLCCs such as: construction efforts, hotels and hospitality ventures, transportation and logistics, food and beverage establishments, and general consumer goods and services.
Is the Texas GulfLink exploring for or drilling for oil?
No. Texas GulfLink will not explore for or drill for any natural resource. The project establishes only the infrastructure needed to deliver crude oil from onshore to cargo ships that will carry it to the international market.
The Texas GulfLink deepwater port will deliver crude oil via an onshore crude pipeline from Webster, Texas and above ground crude oil storage tanks to Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) and other crude carrier vessels that will then ship the products to foreign markets.
How does this project impact the wetlands?
Texas GulfLink is very mindful and sensitive to the project’s impact to local wildlife. Texas GulfLink completed extensive environmental and wildlife impact analysis. The project’s construction and installation methodology and techniques will mitigate any impact to wildlife and wetlands as identified by those extensive evaluations.
How will this project be funded?
Texas GulfLink is an infrastructure development firm. Texas GulfLink will construct a safe, economical solution to provide oil producers an option to export their barrels to international buyers. The project will be funded by private equity, encompassing a mixture of both equity and debt financing.
Who will Texas GulfLink employ?
Texas GulfLink hires only the most qualified, vetted engineers in the industry who are American citizens. We believe in the American workforce and will never seek out foreign contractors or companies to do a job that is vital for the national security of the United States.
Texas GulfLink is committed to using the proven ingenuity and experience of American workers, only the latest and best technologies to support them, and has installed redundant safety measures that exceed federal requirements to ensure the least impact to the environment and local communities along the route.
