Enterprise Begins Service at PDH 2 Plant

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) (“Enterprise”) today announced the start of service at its second propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”) plant (“PDH 2”) in Chambers County, Texas. Underwritten by long-term, fee-based contracts, PDH 2 has the capacity to consume 35,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) of propane to produce 1.65 billion pounds of polymer grade propylene (“PGP”) per year. Combined with Enterprise’s existing PDH 1 plant, the company can consume 70,000 BPD of propane to produce 3.3 billion pounds per year of PGP at its Chambers County complex.

“Propylene is the basic building block used to produce virtually all durable products and, as one of the main pillars of modern civilization, is essential to human survival and improved quality of life,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, co-chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “PDH 2 will provide abundant and cost-advantaged shale-based, on-purpose production to supply our petrochemical customers with the feedstock to produce products that meet the needs of a growing global population. Our newest PDH plant is among $3.8 billion of major growth projects that we announced would begin service and generate new sources of cash flow by the end of 2023.”

Companywide, Enterprise now has the capacity to produce 11 billion pounds of propylene per year. In addition, the new PDH 2 facility is integrated with the company’s propylene system that includes more than 1,000 miles of high-capacity pipelines, over 3 billion pounds of storage capacity, and ability to export approximately 4 billion pounds per year. By providing access to centrally located market hubs, the company’s propylene infrastructure network gives customers the capability to balance supply and demand, thereby facilitating improved utilization of Enterprise assets.
