Texas Gateway Project

The Texas Gateway Project will help meet growing demand for natural gas across Texas and Louisiana by enhancing system capacity and reliability. The project supports American energy independence and economic growth while delivering cleaner, affordable energy to key markets.

Connect major gas production areas to high-demand markets in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana

Support industrial and utility users along the Gulf Coast

Strengthen bidirectional capacity and system reliability

Promote energy security and long-term economic development

Project status: In preliminary design and research phase

Project overview

The Texas Gateway Project is in the early planning phase. Survey permission requests are being sent to landowners to help determine the best route. Final design and scope are subject to change based on engineering, environmental and stakeholder input.

While the final route and design are still being determined, the project is expected to include:

  • A new compressor station in San Jacinto County, Texas,
  • Additional compression at existing Gulf South compressor stations, and
  • Approximately 155 miles of new pipeline infrastructure in Texas and Louisiana.

Preliminary Pipeline Route

The Texas Gateway Project pipeline route is not final and may change based on survey results, engineering and environmental studies. The preliminary route may cross the following counties and parish:

  • Texas: Panola, Shelby, San Augustine, Sabine, Jasper and Newton
  • Louisiana: Beauregard
