History
In 1985, Sabine Gas Transmission Co. (SGT) constructed a 24″ pipeline for Gulf States Utilities (GSU). In 1990, SGT started construction of the Spindletop gas storage facility for GSU under a BOOT* type-agreement. Between 1990 and 2004, Sabine Gas Operating Co. (SGO) operated the Spindletop gas storage facility for 15 years concluding the BOOT agreement in 2004.
In 2003, Sabine Storage & Operations, Inc. (SSO) was formed by the owners of SGT and SGO to provide engineering and construction management services for underground storage and pipeline operations.
