The incremental capacity was achieved through the completion of a new refrigeration train that increases loading capabilities at the terminal from 9 million barrels (MMBbls) per month to 16 MMBbls per month of LPG, which equates to a total of approximately 29 vessels per month.
A.J. “Jim” Teague, chief operating officer of Enterprise’s general partner, said: "This terminal serves as the premier LPG export facility in the U.S. and the timing of these expansion projects could not have been better. In addition to meeting the growing international demand for price-advantaged, domestic LPG, the terminal also benefits producers by providing market access and facilitating continued development of U.S. energy supplies."
The LPG terminal expansion is among $7.8 billion in capital growth projects Enterprise expects to complete and bring into service by the end of 2017. These projects, which are supported by long-term contracts, are primarily focused on meeting the needs of demand-side customers, such as petrochemical plants, refineries and international businesses.
