What Gullett & Associates does

Gullett & Associates (DBA Gullett Services) is a Houston, Texas-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1972 that delivers integrated surveying, right-of-way acquisition, design / GIS, pipeline data management, and advanced surveying technology services to pipeline operators and adjacent energy infrastructure owners. The firm serves Fortune 500 clients including Energy Transfer, Targa Resources, LyondellBasell, Kinder Morgan, Williams, ONEOK, Shell, ExxonMobil Pipeline, ConocoPhillips, Chevron Pipe Line, Enterprise Products, Phillips 66, Dow Chemical, Valero, AECOM, and many others, with project execution spanning the U.S. Gulf Coast, Midwest, and South America (Peru). Service delivery is organized across four verticals: Oil & Gas Pipelines (primary), Operations & Maintenance, Terminals (ILTA member), and Chemical & Refining.

Gullett's technical platform centers on a proprietary Dynamic Line List Documentation System combined with an integrated GIS stack built on ESRI and AutoCAD, supported by Leica laser scanners, robotic total stations, Trimble GPS, and Topcon Total Stations for 3D laser scanning, bathymetric surveys, drone surveys, volumetric surveys, and precision stakeout. The data management practice covers legacy data conversion, PHMSA regulatory compliance support, MAOP calculations, and enterprise database loading into PODS, APDM, and UPDM formats, with surveyors documenting millions of GPS points per month. The firm has executed complex engagements including over 700 miles of new pipeline construction on a single project without a reported incident.

The business model is project-based professional services sold through direct enterprise field sales to large energy and pipeline operators, with dedicated project managers, on-site Operator Qualified (OQ) field crews, and a flexible staffing model that can scale to 100+ personnel on large engagements while drawing on a base of 51-100 employees. Since 2021, Gullett operates as a division of Transglobal Services, a diversified parent company that has provided additional resources, data capabilities, and geographic reach.
