Was Warren Petroleum / Gulf Oil Natural Gas — asbestos documented in litigation?

Which trades had the most exposure?

How long do workers have to file an asbestos claim?

Statutes of limitations for asbestos personal injury claims vary by state, typically ranging from one to five years from the date of an asbestos-related diagnosis.

Can family members file secondary exposure claims?

Premises Description

Warren Petroleum Corporation (founded 1922 in Tulsa Oklahoma; acquired by Gulf Oil 1956, becoming Gulf Oil’s Natural Gasoline Division; continued as Gulf’s natural gas processing business until Gulf’s 1984 acquisition by Chevron) was through the mid-20th century the dominant independent U.S. natural gas liquids (NGL) producer. Warren / Gulf natural gas operations processed sour and sweet natural gas and produced natural gas liquids (propane, butane, gasoline blending stocks) at plants throughout the U.S. Mid-Continent, Rocky Mountains, and Gulf Coast.

Major Warren Petroleum / Gulf Natural Gas asbestos-era U.S. plant sites included natural gas processing plants across Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and other oil and gas producing states. Each operated with the standard heavy-industry natural gas plant asbestos infrastructure profile: pipe covering on plant hot-oil and process piping, refractory on gas-processing furnaces and dehydrator regenerators, gaskets and packing at process flanges, and electrical insulation on plant motor and switchgear systems.

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Warren Petroleum / Gulf Oil natural gas operations — as premises owner — exposed gas plant operator workforce and contractor pipefitters, insulators, boilermakers, and trade workers to extensive asbestos.

Warren Petroleum Corporation / Gulf Oil / Chevron has been named as a Premises Defendant in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation.
