Beaumont Map
Golden Triangle Storage is located on 90 acres of private land on the southern end of Beaumont on the site of current oil production, previous sulfur mining and existing natural gas storage.
Pipeline Interconnects
Golden Triangle Storage will connect with these pipeline to 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 is located on an isolated site on the southern edge of Beaumont. The storage caverns are being built 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.
This rig is drilling brine disposal wells, where the water used to hollow out the storage caverns is re-injected into salt water reservoirs deep underground.
