Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) continued its program of converting NGL pipelines into gasoline and diesel transport lines with the opening of a fuel storage and distribution center in Grand County, Utah, the company announced Oct. 29.
It’s the company’s fourth facility and marks the second phase of completion for EPD’s Texas Western Products System. Three other Enterprise facilities, located in Gaines County, Texas, and the Jal and Albuquerque areas in New Mexico, opened earlier in 2024.
Enterprise says the NGL pipeline conversions will help to lower fuel costs in the areas served by the facilities.
The Utah facility has a storage capacity of 400,000 bbl of gasoline and diesel and can load 20,000 bbl/d onto trucks. The terminal is adjacent to Interstate 70 and can service stations in Eastern Utah and Colorado.
“By repurposing a portion of our existing pipeline assets to connect traditionally underserved gasoline and diesel markets in the southwest United States to the largest refined products complex in the country, we are able to provide customers with improved access to more reliable and diverse supplies, resulting in lower motor fuel costs for consumers,” said A.J. Teague, co-CEO of Enterprise’s general partner.
“We believe the TW Products system will increase in importance to this region given the recently announced and potential future refinery closures in the state of California,” Teague said.
