Enterprise Begins Open Season for Expanded Diluent Service on TE Products Pipeline System
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) (“Enterprise”) today announced that its affiliate, Enterprise TE Products Pipeline Company LLC (“TE Products Pipeline”), is conducting a binding open season for incremental volumes of diluent on the company’s existing 20-inch diameter pipeline in conjunction with an expansion of the system. The pipeline originates in Mont Belvieu, Texas and extends to the Chicago-area market, connecting to third-party pipelines with access to Canadian markets for diluent. The open season is being held in response to increased shipper demand for diluent transportation capacity into the Midwest for subsequent transportation on third-party pipelines to markets in Canada.
The proposed capacity being offered in the open season will not adversely affect any existing shippers on the TE Products Pipeline. The expanded capacity would be accomplished through system upgrades and incremental pumping horsepower. The binding open season will begin June 4, 2024 at 8 a.m. CDT and continue until 5 p.m. CDT on July 3, 2024. Pending sufficient shipper commitments during the open season, the expanded service is expected to be available in July of 2025.
Additional information and open season documents, including the transportation services and confidentiality agreements, is available by contacting Erica Franz at efranz@eprod.com, or by calling 713-381-4234.
