Texas is at the forefront of the US oil and gas industry. Combined distillation capacity of the states 26 refineries totals more than 4.6 million barrels per calendar day, equaling about 26 percent of the nations refining capacity. Texas has the second largest crude oil proved reserves (including Federal Offshore) in the nation with 4,583 million barrels and ranks second in crude oil production behind Federal Offshore areas with a daily production rate of 1.1 million barrels. Petroleum infrastructure is extensive with a large network of crude oil, product, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipelines and storage facilities. Texas is home to two of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's (SPR) four storage facilities: Bryan Mound near Freeport, Texas, and Big Hill near Winnie, Texas. Numerous ports line the Texas Gulf Coast, enabling the state to receive tankers carrying imports of crude oil and petroleum products. About 49 percent of all homes in Texas heat with electricity, followed by natural gas with a 43 percent share. Staffing the projects that work on the extensive infrastructure required to deliver these resources is a continually challenging task.
