Beaumont Map

Golden Triangle Storage will be located on 90 acres of private land on the southern end of Beaumont on the site of current oil and gas production, previous sulfur mining and existing natural gas storage.



Pipeline Interconnects

Depending on customer interest, these potential pipeline interconnections can deliver natural gas from Golden Triangle Storage to markets in Texas and the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.



Natural Gas Supply

Golden Triangle Storage is centrally located for growing natural gas supplies, including LNG imports, deepwater production and onshore fields.



Facility Site




Golden Triangle Storage will be located on an isolated site in southern Beaumont. The storage caverns will be located a half-mile to a mile underground.



Solution Mining

Solution mining is the process used to hollow-out caverns in the salt dome formation to safely store natural gas.



Salt Domes

Salt domes are very large geologic formations found along the Gulf Coast. In addition to being a good site to find oil and natural gas (discoveries near the Spindletop dome ignited the oil boom in 1901), salt domes make excellent containers to store hydrocarbons like natural gas.
