Victoria Texas sits inland from the Gulf Coast at the hub of south Texas oil and gas infrastructure. The city is connected to the coastal petrochemical complex through pipelines and serves as a regional hub for the Eagle Ford Shale oil and gas producing region. Victoria County experiences indirect impacts from Gulf Coast hurricanes including significant rainfall flooding. The regional oil and gas infrastructure concentration makes the area economically vulnerable to tropical storm events.
