Regan Hampton, lead controller for Atmos Pipeline–Texas, heads a
team of highly experienced pipeline controllers who monitor the system
around the clock at the division’s Dallas control center.
Dallas, TX
“My team and I keep a constant watch on approximately 6,000 miles of pipeline,” explains
Regan Hampton, lead controller at Atmos Pipeline–Texas’ control center. “Ours is one of
the largest natural gas pipelines in Texas, and on a peak day more than 3.5 billion cubic
feet of gas flows through the system. Our team is here 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
monitoring pipeline pressures and flow rates and working with the engineering and integrity
groups to schedule maintenance outages, so that our pipeline is as safe as we can make it.”
Our goal is zero incidents
—and it has to be. In this type of
business, there’s no room for error, so
that our pipeline is safe and provides
reliable service.
