The expansion will service the chemical manufacturing and liquefied natural gas processing industries, in addition to other oil and gas customers.
The company currently has 46 jobs, but says the project will add 150 more positions with average annual salaries of $74,000, plus benefits.
Louisiana will give Bagwell Energy Services a $250,000 grant to help pay for infrastructure improvements at the site. The company also will receive workforce development assistance and use of a tax break program for creating high-paying jobs.
