El Paso Corporation

El Paso Corporation, based in Houston TX, USA, is the umbrella company for two core businesses involving pipelines, exploration and production. El Paso owns North America’s largest interstate natural gas pipeline system, transporting more than a quarter of the natural gas consumed in the country each day.  The company takes care to follow environmental best practices in order to keep the carbon footprint of the production to a minimum.
El Paso’s exploration and production operations find, develop and produce  oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids in a safe, efficient, and dependable manner. It ranks in the top ten domestic independent producers, operating in high-quality basins.
U.S. economic growth depends on reliable energy. Natural gas plays a key role in meeting this growing demand. El Paso’s reliable and efficient natural gas exploration, production and delivery systems position the company as a continued leader in the energy industry.
El Paso assets are divided among three major areas: onshore, which includes our Western U.S., Central U.S., and Texas Gulf Coast assets; Gulf of Mexico/S. Louisiana; and International, which consists of Brazil and in Egypt.
