Williams is proud to be celebrating 100 years of ingenuity. Williams traces its roots to 1908 with two brothers' construction projects in Fort Smith, Ark. Within a few years Miller and David Williams were building cross-country natural gas and petroleum pipelines. By the time the brothers relocated to Tulsa in 1919, they had a reputation for doing a job on time and on budget.
The company began assembling its nationwide system of interstate natural gas pipelines in 1982 with the purchase of Northwest Energy Company. Williams purchased Transco Energy Company in 1995, expanding its natural gas transportation system to the East Coast. This acquisition established Williams as one of the largest-volume transporters of natural gas in the United States.
Today the company concentrates solely on natural gas—exploration and production, gathering and processing, and interstate pipelines—with assets in North America and South America. Williams has a proud record in safety and environmental stewardship, and plays a key role in supplying the energy needs of the country.
Let's make this the most entertaining parade to date. We look forward to your involvement with the 2008 parade.
