El Paso Natural Gas Company
El Paso Natural Gas Company’s 50-year history with the Navajo Nation is one of cooperation, camaraderie, and mutual respect that El Paso looks forward to continuing for years. Since 1947, when then-El Paso President Paul Kayser developed plans to construct a 450-mile, 24-inch diameter natural gas pipeline that would transport San Juan Basin natural gas into southern California, El Paso has nurtured its relationship with the Nation. Construction plans called for about half the proposed pipeline to be built through the Nation to Topock, Arizona. El Paso worked with the Nation and individual tribe members to forge a longstanding, close relationship as the company’s representatives secured rights of way across Navajo lands. That relationship has been vital to providing much-needed natural gas supplies to the West Coast from the San Juan, Permian, and Anadarko basins as well as the Rocky Mountains.
