Explorer Pipeline

Our summer interns wrapped up their first week by visiting our Glenpool field station, getting a firsthand look at operations, teamwork, and infrastructure that keep our pipeline moving safely and reliable every day.

From learning fundamentals of pipeline operations to connecting with experienced team members in the field, this first week has already been packed with valuable experiences!

We're excited to see our interns continue to learn, grow and contribute throughout the summer.

Welcome to the team!!

On this Memorial Day & everyday, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country. We wish everyone a safe & wonderful Memorial Day.

We loved having Bello charcuterie LLC at our Tulsa office this week for a Cake Decorating Class. We always enjoy their workshops and yummy lunches!

We’re proud to recognize our employees from our Wood River field office at the recent Safety and Service Award dinner. Our Safety and Service Award recipients represent the very best of what we stand for—commitment to safety, dedication to excellence, and years of loyalty that strengthens our team.

Please join us in congratulating this year’s award recipients from our Wood River field station and their impact they make every single day!

Here's an easy checklist before you break ground this spring:

☑ Call 811
☑ Wait 3 days
☑ Confirm all utilities responded
☑ Hand dig within 24″ of marks

It’s simple. It’s safe.

We had a great time volunteering at the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma! Our team helped sort and pack food for families in our community, and it was an awesome way to give back together.

Explorer is proud to be named the 2025 Small Operator recipient of the API Distinguished Pipeline Safety Award!!

This recognition reflects our strong culture of safety, disciplined risk management practices, and proactive engagement with our stakeholders. Every day, our team remains committed to operating safely, responsibly, and with integrity.

Thank you to our employees, peers, and communities who helped make this achievement possible.

Shallow digging is still digging!

Some utilities can be buried just inches below the surface -- every digging project, regardless of depth, requires contacting 811 a few days in advance.

Last week our Tulsa office had our Safety & Service Awards Dinner at Five Oaks Lodge. Our Tulsa office has had 24 years of no lost workdays and no injuries. Congratulations to everyone who received an award and to everyone for continuing to build our safety culture.

Yesterday for Earth Day our Tulsa office made flower bouquets for our partner agencies -- Alzheimer's Association & Clarehouse. Alzheimer's Association helped us pass out flower bouquets to Central States Research Saint Francis Neurology, The Beehive, Oxford Springs, Aberdeen Heights, Town Village, and community volunteers. Thank you to everyone who was involved in this project -- all the bouquets turned out beautiful.
