On October 14, 1987,
rescue workers and
volunteers worked in
Midland, Texas, to free
18-month-old Jessica
McClure, trapped in
an 8-inch pipe for 58
hours. Local Energas
employees were instru-
mental in Jessica’s rescue,
providing manpower
and equipment.
At Energas, we are famous
for our efficiency, serving
an average of 578 meters
per employee.
Historic Route 66
runs right through
Energas country in
Amarillo. Energas
has traveled a long
road, too, providing
natural gas service
for almost 100 years.
Clean-burning natural
gas is a winning energy
solution. Brownfield
native Sheryl Swoopes
knows all about being a
winner; she won a gold
medal on the Olympic
U.S. Women’s Basketball
team, and she’s a star
in the WNBA.
Every summer, for more
than 30 years, the outdoor
musical “Texas” has been
performed on the floor of
Palo Duro Canyon, south of
Amarillo. At Energas, we
too pride ourselves on a
reliable performance record.
