JUNE 18, 2025 – This morning, while performing routine maintenance, West Texas Gas (WTG) experienced an unintended release of mercaptan odorant from a bulk holding tank at one of our San Antonio facilities. The release was not the result of a natural gas leak, but of a mercaptan odorant mixture commonly used to odorize natural gas to give it a distinctive odor for safety purposes.

As a result, the odor may be noticeable across parts of the San Antonio area. The vicinity is safe and there is no danger to the public and there was no natural gas released during the incident.

If you suspect a natural gas leak in your area, we urge you to contact your local utility provider or call 911 out of an abundance of caution.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
