Salt Dome Storage

Five active caverns at approximately 6,000 ft depth, with combined capacity of approximately 4 million barrels of petroleum products. Strategically positioned between the Baton Rouge and New Orleans petrochemical complexes along the Mississippi River industrial corridor.

Potential new cavern development opportunities include natural gas storage, NGL storage, and hydrogen-ready caverns, subject to engineering validation and market demand.

Carbon Sequestration

ULCO acreage encompasses an estimated 200+ million tonnes of CO₂ storage potential in Lower and Middle Miocene intervals at approximately 7,100–9,700 ft depth — well below existing cavern operations at approximately 6,000 ft.

United Lands Company has made pore space below 5,000 feet available for permanent CO₂ sequestration development.

Founded in 1920 on the cypress timberlands of Ascension Parish. Now operating at the intersection of legacy energy infrastructure and emerging carbon markets.

A Century of Stewardship

United Lands Company was formed in 1920 by investors previously engaged in cypress timber harvest in Ascension Parish under the Ascension Red Cypress Company. The land sits atop a geologically rare and massive naturally occurring salt dome — thousands of feet deep, rising to near the surface.

Today, United Lands holds approximately 8,300 acres in Ascension Parish and 110 acres in Winn Parish — a strategically positioned land position now at the center of Gulf Coast energy infrastructure development.

The Position

Located approximately 40 miles west of New Orleans, between the Baton Rouge and New Orleans petrochemical complexes, ULCO acreage sits within one of the most densely interconnected pipeline corridors in the United States, with access to multiple interstate natural gas, NGL, crude oil, and refined product pipelines.

United Lands Company currently operates salt cavern storage at the Sorrento Salt Dome in Ascension Parish. The company has also made pore space below 5,000 feet available for permanent CO₂ sequestration development.
