Nobody Gets Hurt

Safety is a core value at ExxonMobil Pipeline Company. We strive for an incident-free workplace and a culture that supports our clear and simple objective: Nobody Gets Hurt. This extends to our neighbors and those who live and work near our pipelines and facilities.

Doing What's Right

We believe in doing the right thing, the right way, every time. Information on how we maintain safe pipelines is available here.

Continuous Inspection

Numerous inspections are conducted during our work to verify the integrity of the new pipe before it is placed into service. Once a pipeline is operational, inspections are conducted on a regular basis for the life of the pipe as determined by federal regulations.

Open Communication

We will communicate openly with our neighbors and community residents throughout this project. Once the replaced pipeline is in service, you’ll receive regular communications from ExxonMobil Pipeline Company and can continue to reach us through the phone number and email address provided on this site.

Our work in East Harris County

ExxonMobil Pipeline Company operates crude oil, refined product pipelines and multiple refined products and transfer facilities in East Harris County that are important to businesses and motorists across southeast Texas and the Gulf Coast.

Our work across the county will be conducted in the safest way possible to ensure minimal community disruption. Along the project route, you can expect to see survey activities, construction crews, excavation along the pipeline right-of-way, laying of new pipeline segments and welding of new pipe. In some areas, we may store pipe and other equipment in cooperation with property owners and/or public officials. Learn more about replacing a pipeline here.

Replacement Activities Underway

ExxonMobil and its affiliates own and operate multiple pipelines across East Harris County. In 2020, as part of our ongoing pipeline maintenance program and our continuing investments in the region, ExxonMobil Pipeline Company will begin maintenance and replacement work on and along more than 40 miles of these pipeline segments. Much of work will take place in locations between the Houston Ship Channel and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company’s Webster Station in Webster, Texas. Work also will take place between our Pasadena Station and the Houston Ship Channel. The pipelines currently operating in these locations service ExxonMobil’s Baytown refinery, as well as other customers in the region. Learn more about constructing a pipeline.

Committed to the Community

Our team strives to do what is best for the community at every step of the permitting and construction process—because this is our home too. We appreciate the patience of our neighbors as we work to enhance the reliability of our operations, while minimizing disruption, in East Harris County. We strive for utmost transparency with property owners and community members.

We also like to give back to the communities where we operate in ways that reflect our company values: through grants to community institutions, supporting STEM education opportunities and sponsoring safety initiatives.
