EGF Energy secures site at Gulf Inland Logistics Park
EGF Energy Partners recently purchased a 13.1-acre, rail-served site at the new Gulf Inland Logistics Park to serve as a terminal and manufacturing facility for its base oils and lubricating oils.
The logistics hub is located northeast of Houston, at Grand Parkway and Hwy. 90.
“As we near the completion of Phase 1 sales at Gulf Inland Logistics Park, we’re pleased to welcome EGF Energy Partners to our growing community,” Marcus Goering, principal at Liberty Development Partners, which is managing and developing the new park, said in a news release. “Their decision to locate here affirms the strategic advantages we offer—direct access to both Union Pacific and BNSF rail networks, proximity to the Greater Houston area, and seamless connectivity to their customers and suppliers.
“Each new tenant, like EGF Energy Partners, accelerates our progress toward establishing Gulf Inland Logistics Park as a key driver of industrial growth and global logistics in Texas.”
For more than 20 years, EGF has manufactured premium lubricants and associated products for the automotive, industrial, and drilling markets, the companies reported. A family- and minority-owned business with headquarters in Houston, EGF plans to store, blend, and transload lubricant products at Gulf Inland Logistics Park. The initial development phase is expected to be operational within a year and will consist of a 20,000-sq.-ft. warehouse housing more than 400,000 gallons of bulk tank storage, as well as multiple loading racks, and a truck scale.
The completed project will total 60,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space and capacity for 800,000 gallons of tankage, EGF said.
“EGF Energy Partners is thrilled to announce the acquisition of a 13-acre property at Gulf Inland Logistics Park, offering direct rail access to both Union Pacific and BNSF railroads,” said Felix Moreno Jr., EGF president. “Our new site will feature a modern terminal, extensive storage tank facilities, a state-of-the-art transload station, and on-site manufacturing capabilities.
“This strategic investment will allow us to internalize our rail logistics, integrating operations between this new location and our existing 20-acre Houston site. By streamlining transportation and operations across both properties, EGF Energy Partners is positioning for continued growth and significantly enhancing our efficiency, flexibility, and service to our customers.”
Gulf Inland Logistics Park is rapidly evolving into a high-capacity logistics hub, with development moving at an accelerated pace to meet demand, officials said. Phase 1, spanning 200 acres, is nearly complete, with six of seven lots sold. Phase 2 is available, and lots are currently being sold.
The project’s rail infrastructure is scaling rapidly: Yard 1 is fully operational, with 330 rail storage spaces, and Yard 2 is expected to add another 550 in August. Three additional yards are set to open by early 2026, bringing the total to over 2,000 railcar storage spaces.
