Siemens opens new oil, gas process headquarters in Houston

At a City Hall meeting today with Houston Mayor Annise Parker, Siemens managing board member Lisa Davis announced the opening of Siemens’ new oil and gas headquarters in Houston.

The new office is aimed at serving the global oil and gas industry. Davis, who leads Siemens’ oil and gas and power generation businesses, will be based in the West Memorial Drive office in Houston’s energy corridor, as will Siemens’ oil and gas and marine business units

“Our Houston location is critical for Siemens’ long-term growth as it brings us closer to upstream, midstream and downstream customers,” said Davis.

“Siemens’ expertise in automation, electrical systems, data analytics, and service combined with our existing portfolio, including Rolls-Royce industrial aero-derivative gas turbines, and our agreement to acquire Houston-based Dresser-Rand, fortifies our position as the most complete, end-to-end rotating equipment and process automation provider in the market today," she added.

Davis noted that nearly 2,000 Siemens employees work in the Houston area, including more than 300 veterans.

"We are pleased to be an active corporate citizen and technology provider to the city and the greater Houston community," she said.

Siemens’ technologies can be found in projects across the city. Siemens provided Houston’s first light rail system, supplied building control systems at NRG Park and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, replaced over 10,000 traffic and pedestrian signals with LED technology, and led Houston’s Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit program involving 5.5 million square feet of facilities as well as upgrades to the city’s parks and sports fields.
