America's Energy Corridor

The concentration of energy companies, ports, supply bases and other related infrastructure along the Energy Corridor sustains the vital production of oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico.

The current Highway 90 will continue to hinder the efficiency of transporting goods, services and people for both on and offshore activities.

As oil is being discovered at an increasing rate on the Outer Continental Shelf, an upgraded interstate with a higher capacity is needed to accommodate the resulting increase in commerce.

The Energy Corridor is home to 36% of Louisiana's population.
In the United States, the Energy Corridor is one of the top ten industrial corridors in terms of jobs per capita.
The Energy Corridor has access to more navigable water miles than any other region of its size in the United States.
4 of the top 10 ports in the US, in terms of tonnage, can be accessed by the Energy Corridor.
The volume of crude oil and natural gas flowing through the Energy Corridor represents approximately $150 billion in annual energy revenue.
No other similar sized geographic area in the United States impacts the nation's economy like this vital Energy Corridor.
Port Fourchon along the corridor services 90% of all deepwater rigs and platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and it is the host of the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP).
The pipeline distribution from LOOP connects to over 50% of the U.S. refining capacity and is the only deepwater offshore oil terminal in the world.
