WHC Energy Services is working on a major pipeline installation near Port Arthur, Texas, drawing on extensive experience across both marsh and land environments.

The work includes 15 miles of 42-inch pipeline and 6 miles of 20-inch pipeline. Approximately 75 percent of the scope involves drilling, highlighted by two record-setting 42-inch horizontal directional drills (HDDs) measuring 8,281 and 8,519 feet.

Construction is being supported by teams transitioning directly from recent marsh and land pipeline projects completed last year by WHC. This continuity supports consistent execution, strong site knowledge, and disciplined planning as the project moves forward. Mobilisation began in February 2026, with construction continuing through 2026 and into early 2027, reinforcing WHC’s role in delivering large-scale, technically complex pipeline installations.
