There are also a lot of large companies and support companies between Aldine Westfield and Hardy Toll between 1960 to the North and BW8 to the South.

It's really hard to narrow it down. You can't shake a stick and not hit an oil-based company down here.

You have BP, Transocean, Exxon on I-10 & Hwy 6. Shell s technology center is located 3 miles from there on hwy 6 and one on bellaire as well. and they are huge campuses. Apart from that you have a few offices near IAH like Schumberger, Hallibutton etc and few in the downtown ..On I-45 S to galveston, you have a lot of refineries and some in Texas city as well.

you can stay near galleria and people commute even more to raeach Energy corridor. It should be around 17-20 miles from galleria.if you prefer apartments there are very good ones in 77077 and 77079 wich are less than 2 miles from BP offices.

Default Not kidding me.

Don't know what you are up to, but I'm not believing a degreed engineer can't construct a sentence better than that.
