Headquarters
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is headquartered in the Anadarko Tower in The Woodlands, Texas. On February 11, 1999 Anadarko announced that it would purchase a 7.5-acre (30,000 m2) tract in The Woodlands, Montgomery County from the Woodlands Land Company. There Anadarko planned to build an 800,000-square-foot (74,000 m2), 32-story headquarters building. Anadarko opened the headquarters in mid-2002.
On January 17th, 2012, Swamplot and the Houston Chronicle both reported that Anadarko will be erecting a brand new tower just west of the existing tower. The new building will stand at 31-stories (1 floor taller than the existing tower). The Chronicle reports that construction is to begin very soon within the next few weeks and should be completed by 2014.The new building will surpass the existing building in height becoming the tallest building between Houston and Dallas.
The company previously occupied the 17001 Northchase Drive in the Greenspoint district and in Houston. The tower, which was previously known as the Anadarko Tower, was built in a two-year period and completed in December 1992.

“Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.”
