The Power of Local Energy
Energy Transportation, LLC is
a leading natural gas transportation
and environmental response provider
in West Virginia that specializes in
hauling petroleum products and other
sensitive chemicals, drum and waste
management services, reviews and
audits, internal assessments for com-
pliance and operations efficiency and
confined space work. Along with its
sister companies—Applied Construc-
tion Solutions, ET360, Enviro Energy
Solutions, Energy Resource Group
and Elite Midstream—Energy Trans-
portation is taking full advantage of
the vast opportunities the Mountain
State offers in the oil and natural gas
industry.
This energy empire is owned and
operated by the Alvarez family, West
Virginia natives driven by a passion
for the energy industry, a deep love
for the Mountain State and a fierce
loyalty to fellow West Virginians.
As such, Energy Transportation is
dedicated to creating safe, meaningful
jobs and keeping work local.
“We have developed a business
model that services multiple facets of
the oil and gas industry, which in turn
has allowed us to provide great jobs
for West Virginians,” says President
David Alvarez. “We aim to hire local
so that it in turn benefits our local
communities and their economies.”
Andria Alvarez Wymer, director
of strategic initiatives and planning
for Energy Transportation, believes
it is paramount that West Virginia
continues to take advantage of the
opportunities that are available in
the oil and gas industry.
“I think there is a common miscon-
ception that this is just a boom and
the jobs aren’t here to stay,” she says.
“The resources our industry produces
aren’t going anywhere. Energy-related
jobs will continue to benefit our local
economies and provide better oppor-
tunities within our communities.”
Local Vendors,
Local Impact
Energy Transportation and
its sister companies have a
combined workforce of more
than 1,000 during peak season—
the majority of whom live within
a 60-mile radius of Clarksburg,
WV. The company strives to
partner with other Mountain
State businesses and has more
than 200 local vendors it is
working with at any given time.
For example, the company’s
fleet of more than 200 heavy
trucks is sourced from Matheny
Motors in Parkersburg, WV—its
largest vendor. This commitment
to keeping money and jobs local
has resulted in an increase of
250 jobs in the past two years
and equates to more than
$500,000 in vehicle licensing
fees per year, which directly
benefits West Virginia’s
roadway infrastructure.
