Pipelines in Texas
Texas has been aggressively acquiring private land through condemnation to transport oil, natural gas, sewage and water across the state to accommodate the needs of a growing population and a recent surge in oil and gas production. Pipeline companies, unlike the transmission line utilities, are not required to file their projects with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Therefore this allows them to do business in a much more covert way, making it very difficult for us to track the active pipeline projects being built across the state. Below is a list of some of pipeline projects and companies operating and building in Texas.
