About Texas Gas Service
Texas Gas Service Company was founded in Wink, Texas, in 1929 as Southern Union Gas. The company grew to become the third largest natural gas distribution company in Texas. In January 2003 ONEOK purchased these assets and named the distribution company Texas Gas Service Company. Our business is supplying energy that improves the quality of life and helps companies thrive and grow. Our industry is evolving. There is greater competition and greater customer choice. These changes will yield exciting new opportunities to serve the customers who have trusted us as their reliable source of natural gas. We value that trust. It's been earned by our employees who have made it their business to satisfy customers year after year.
Safety and environmental performance are our top priorities, and we work hard to deliver natural gas service with no adverse effect on the public, our customers, employees or the environment. So when the Office of Pipeline Safety issued a final rule requiring natural gas pipeline operators to develop integrity management programs for gas transmission pipelines located in high-consequence areas, Texas Gas Service created an integrity management program that meets or exceeds the requirements of the integrity management regulations.
