How do we know the pipeline was safely built?
According to every test and study conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, pipelines continue to be our safest, most efficient method of transporting natural resources. There are over 2 million miles of active pipelines across the United States, all carefully regulated by state and federal safety standards to provide critical infrastructure for energy development.
The Texas GulfLink project is committed to the highest standard of safety of the community, its workers, and the surrounding environment during construction and operation of its pipelines. Our construction personnel and engineers are vetted, qualified American citizens who utilize the very latest industry and regulatory standards on the books, along with state-of-the-art technology that helps create a robust, safe, efficient, and clean operation. The SPM will be constructed overseas, not sure we can say that all construction personnel and engineers will be American citizens.

Is Texas GulfLink exploring for or drilling for oil?
No. Texas GulfLink will not explore for or drill for any natural resource. The project establishes only the infrastructure needed to deliver crude oil from onshore to cargo ships that will carry it to the international market.
The Texas GulfLink Deepwater Port will deliver crude oil via an onshore crude pipeline and above-ground crude oil storage tanks to Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) that will then ship the products to foreign markets. Don’t like using the word “Product”, for me it means refined products.
