Enterprise Reports Initial Assessment of Impacts from Tropical Storm Harvey
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) today announced the
initial assessment of its facilities on the Texas Gulf Coast from the
impacts of Tropical Storm Harvey. At this time none of the facilities
have incurred any significant damage.
In South Texas, two of Enterprise’s eight natural gas processing plants,
including its largest plant Yoakum, are in service. The remaining six
natural gas processing plants and the Shoup NGL fractionation facility
are currently not in operation due to the effects of the storm including
loss of power, loss of third party services, minor damage and/or the
level of natural gas production. In general, the partnership’s natural
gas, NGL and crude oil pipelines serving South Texas and the Eagle Ford
Shale are in commercial service.
At Enterprise’s Mont Belvieu, Texas facility, four of its eight NGL
fractionators, three of its six propylene fractionators and storage
facilities are in service or limited service. The main impacts of the
storm at Mont Belvieu have been rising water and loss of power.
With respect to crude oil pipeline infrastructure in the Houston area,
the Seaway pipeline from its origin in Cushing, Oklahoma to most
delivery points are in service. Deliveries from Seaway and Enterprise’s
crude oil distribution system to certain delivery points may be on
allocation from time to time or not in service subject to disruptions of
electrical power to pump stations and/or restrictions at receipt points.
Enterprise’s marine terminals are not currently in service due to the
Houston Ship Channel and the Port of Beaumont being closed to ship
traffic. Seaway’s marine terminals at Texas City and Freeport are also
not in service due to these respective ports being closed to ship
traffic.
Enterprise will provide additional assessments of its assets as
warranted.
