This report examines a wide range of energy infrastructure assets along the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) that supports, or is supported by, offshore oil and gas production. The report does not explore any testable hypotheses or other complex research questions, but is merely a fact book that describes, examines, and outlines the nature of a variety of different, yet important, energy infrastructure assets in the region. The fact book examines these infrastructure assets future development trends, and outlook given ongoing and expected offshore oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) activities. This report examines 13 major energy infrastructure categories that are located along the GOM in significant numbers and capacity including: platform fabrication yards; shipyards and shipbuilding yards; port facilities; support and transport facilities; waste management facilities; pipelines; pipe coating yards; liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities; natural gas processing facilities; natural gas storage facilities; refineries; petrochemical plants; and electric power infrastructure. |
