EnLink Offers Texas-Sized Lifeline to Sustain Lights and Stovetops

EnLink Midstream LLC recently donated 50,000 gallons of propane to support residents of Southeast Louisiana experiencing extended power outages because of Hurricane Ida. EnLink is partnering with O’Nealgas, a propane company that is delivering the propane directly to first responders and residents via onsite service trucks.

“EnLink has a 60-plus-year history in the state of Louisiana, which has seen severe devastation in the wake of Hurricane Ida,” says Barry E. Davis, EnLink chairman and CEO. “We want to assist our neighbors in this trying time. This propane normally would be sold into pipeline markets but now will go directly into the hands of people in need, helping run generators, cook food and power on-the-ground response operations, while they await the return of electricity to their communities.”

EnLink operates a large network of assets along the Gulf Coast including one of the largest gas transmission pipeline systems in Louisiana. O’Nealgas and EnLink have had a strong working relationship for many years. O’Nealgas initially reached out to EnLink about obtaining a propane donation to help residents.

“When I approached EnLink about helping us get desperately needed propane to the hardest hit communities in south Louisiana, they agreed without hesitation,” said Tom O’Neal, president of O’Nealgas. “The only surprise was the incredible generosity – donating 50,000 gallons of propane to the residents of those communities was an amazing Texas-sized lifeline that literally helped people keep the lights on and feed their families.”
