Enterprise Products Partners LP executed an additional long-term contract to export ethane from its new terminal under construction at Morgan’s Point, Texas, the company said Nov. 10.
With the additional volumes, Enterprise’s 200,000 barrel per day (Mbbl/d) terminal is now about 90% contracted in terms of operating capacity.
The export terminal, which will begin operations in the third quarter of 2016, will load fully-refrigerated ethane at rates up to 10Mbbl per hour. Supply for the new terminal, located along the Houston Ship Channel, will be sourced from Enterprise’s NGL fractionation and storage complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and transported through a 24-inch diameter pipeline currently under construction.
Enterprise Products Partners LP is based in Houston.
