History Following the discovery of oil in the Permian Basin in the 1920s, Houston attorney, Paul Kayser, determined that El Paso, TX provided a promising market for more cost-effective natural gas. He firmed up supply from several gas wells near Jal, NM, convinced El Paso's industrial facilities to convert to natural gas, and started the El Paso Natural Gas Company in 1928. The company built its first gas pipeline in 1929. The company would go public on the NYSE in 1936. Benefits Health & Wellness El Paso takes a proactive approach to our employees' health and welfare.
