Kelcy Warren grew up in a family that didn’t have much money. Kelcy Warren traded cow hides for food until he was old enough to be a trucker and haul sand out of the desert for oil well filler. To supplement the income, he began trapping and hunting at 12. At one point, Warren was traveling with guns in a motorcycle sidecar. He was extremely adamant about one thing: family.

In 1967 Warren sold his first oil well. By 1973, he owned (and still owns) over 200 wells. In 1975 he became the largest producer in Harker County, Texas, and is now the largest owner of oil and gas properties in Texas.

Kelcy Warren is usually nicknamed “Tex” or “Tex-Cain” because he is from Texas, and he has a very strong Texas accent in his voice when he talks.

Kelcy Warren was elected President and CEO of Energy Transfer in 1991. Energy Transfer is a company that Warren owns. The company owns pipelines, gas processing plants, and gas storage and transport facilities.

Since becoming CEO, Warren has built the business from $200 million to over $9 billion. He is also the founder and owner of U.S. Pipe. He is also the owner of Sun Pipe Line. The Sun Pipe Line has 5,000 miles of natural gas pipelines from the Gulf Coast to the Mid-West.

Warren’s company Energy Transfer Partners is building a new natural gas pipeline that will run 1,168 miles from Pennsylvania to New York and Connecticut. The estimated cost for the project is $3.2 billion. It will carry enough natural gas to heat 2 million homes per day. The pipeline will also have enough capacity to supply 13% of New York City with natural gas when it begins operation in 2016 or early 2017.

Kelcy Warren is married and has six children, eight grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
